HISTORICAL  SKETCH  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF 
GEORGIA. 


I. 


The  Inception  of  the  University — The   Charter — Firsl    Meeting  of  the 
Trustees — Their  Work. 

1784-1797. 

The  University  of  Georgia  had  its  legal  coneeption  in  an 
act  of  the  Legislature,  approved  February  25,  1784,  the  in- 
tention of  which  primarily  was  to  lay  out  amid  the  virgin 
forests  of  the  Slate  two  counties,  Washington  and  Frank- 
lin ;  the  one  extending  from  the  line  of  Richmond  and  Wilkes 
to  the  Oconee  river,  and  the  other  from  Wilkes  to  the  Chero- 
kee Nation,  between  the  Oconee  and  the  Keowee  Rivers. 

A  section  of  that  act  provides  :  l '  And  whereas  the  encourage- 
ment of  religion  and  learning  is  an  object  of  great  impor- 
tance to  any  community,  and  must  tend  to  the  prosperity, 
happiness  and  advantage  of  the  same,  Be  it  therefore  enacted, 
etc.,  that  the  County  Surveyors  immediately  after  the  pas- 
sing of  this  act  shall  proceed  to  lay  out  in  each  county 
twenty  thousand  acres  of  land  of  the  first  quality  in  sepa- 
rate tracts  of  five  thousand  acres  each  for  the  endowment 
of  a  College  or  seminary  of  learning,  and  which  said  lands 
shall  be  vested  in  and  granted  in  trust  to  his  honor  the  Gov- 
enor,  for  the  time  being,  and  John  Houston,  James  Haber- 
sham, William  Few,  Joseph  Clay,  Abraham  Baldwin,  Wil- 
liam HoUvSton,  Nathan  Brownson,  and  their  successors  in 
office,  who  are  hereby  nominated  and  appointed  Trustees  for 
the  said  College  or  seminary  of  learning  and  empowered  to 
do  all  such  things  as  to  them  shall  appear  requisite  and 
necessary  to  forward  the  establishment  and  progress  of  the 
same;  and  all  vacancies  shall  be  filled  up  by  the  said  Trustees. 
And  the  said  County  Surveyors  shall  in  six  months  after  the 
passing  of  this  Act  make  return  to  the  Trustees  hereinbefore 
mentioned  of  regular  plats  of  all  such  tracts  as  shall  be 
laid  out  and  surveved  bv  virtue  of  this  Act." 


4  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

In  pursuance  whereof  the  eight  tracts  were  laid  out 
which  are  now  included  in  the  counties  of  Hancock,  Ogle- 
thorpe, Greene,  Clarke,  Jackson  and  Franklin  and  still  an- 
other across  the  Savannah  river  in  the  State  of  South  Car- 
olina, which  will  be  treated  of  hereafter.  These  tracts  were 
known  as  the  Fishing  and  the  Falling  Creek  tracts  in  Ogle- 
thorpe, the  Richland  Creek  tract  in  Greene,  the  Sandy  Creek 
tract  in  Clarke,  the  Shoal  Creek  tract  in  Franklin,  the  Shoul- 
der-bone tract  in  Hancock  and  the  Keowee  tract  in  South 
Carolina. 

The  following  year,  1785,  a  bill  was  introduced  to  com- 
plete the  establishment  of  a  "public  seat  of  learning,"  which 
was  approved  January  27,  1785,  and  constitutes  the  Char- 
ter of  the  University  of  Georgia.     It  is  as  follows  : 

THE    CHARTER. 

As  it  is  the  distinguishing  happiness  of  free  governments 
that  civil  order  should  be  the  result  of  choice  and  not  neces- 
sity, and  the  common  wishes  of  the  people  become  the  law 
of  the  land,  their  public  prosperity  and  even  existence,  very 
much  depends  upon  suitably  forming  the  minds  and  morals 
of  their  citizens.  When  the  minds  of  the  people  in  general 
are  viciously  disposed  and  unprincipled,  and  their  conduct 
disorderly,  a  free  government  will  be  attended  with  greater 
confusions  and  evils  more  horrid  than  the  wild  unculti- 
vated state  of  nature :  it  can  only  be  happy  where  the  pub- 
lic principles  and  opinions  are  properly  directed  and  their 
manners  regulated.  This  is  an  influence  beyond  the  stretch 
of  laws  and  punishments,  and  can  be  claimed  only  by  reli- 
gion and  education.  It  should,  therefore,  be  among  the  first 
objects  of  those  who  wish  well  to  the  national  prosperity  to 
encourage  and  support  the  principles  of  religion  and  moral- 
ity, and  early  to  place  the  youth  under  the  forming  hand  of 
society,  that  by  instruction,  they  may  be  moulded  to  the  love 
of  virtue  and  good  order.  Sending  them  abroad  to  other 
communities  for  their  education  will  not  answer  these  pur- 
poses, is  too  humiliating  an  acknowledgment  of  the  igno- 
rance or  inferiority  of  our  own,  and  will  always  be  the  cause 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  5 

of  so  great  foreign   attachments,    that    upon    principles   oi 

policy,  it  is  inadmissible. 

This  country  in  the  times  of  our  common  danger  and  dis- 
tress, found  such  security  in  the  principles  and  abilities 
which  wise  regulations  had  before  established  in  the  minds 
of  our  countrymen,  that  our  present  happiness,  joined  to 
the  pleasing  prospects,  should  conspire  to  make  us  feel  our- 
selves under  the  strongest  obligation  to  form  the  youth,  the 
rising  hope  of  our  land,  to  render  the  like  glorious  and  es- 
sential services  to  our  country. 

And,  whereas,  For  thegteat  purposeof  internal  education, 
divers  allotments  of  land  have  at  different  times  been  made, 
particularly  by  the  Legislature  at  their  session  in  Juh',  1783, 
and  February,  1784,  all  of  which  maybe  comprehended  and 
made  the  basis  of  one  general  and  complete  establishment : 
Therefore  enacted, 

2.  Sec.  I.  That  the  general  superintendence  and  regulation 
of  the  literature  of  this  State,  and  in  particular  of  the  pub- 
lic seat  of  learning,  shall  be  entrusted  to  one  board,  denomi- 
nated "The  Board  of  Visitors,"  hereby  vested  with  all  the 
powers  of  visitation  to  see  that  the  intent  of  this  institution 
is  carried  into  effect;  and  John  Houston,  James  Haber- 
sham, William  Few,  Joseph  Clay,  Abraham  Baldwin,  Wil- 
liam Houston,  Nathan  Brownson,  John  Habersham,  Abiel 
Holmes,  Jenkin  Davis,  Hugh  Lawson,  William  Glascock  and 
Benjamin  Taliaferro,  who  shall  compose  another  board, 
denominated  the  "Board  of  Trustees."  These  two  boards, 
united,  or  a  majority  of  each  of  them,  shall  compose  the 
"Senatus  Academicus  of  the  University  of  Georgia." 

3.  Sec.  II.  All  statutes,  laws  and  ordinances  for  the  gov- 
ernment of  the  University,  shall  be  made  and  enacted  by  the 
two  boards  united  or  a  majority  of  each  of  them,  subject 
always  to  be  laid  before  the  General  Assembly,  as  often  as 
required  and  to  be  repealed  or  disallowed  as  the  General  As- 
sembly may  think  proper. 

4.  Sec.  III.  Property  vested  in  the  University  shall  never 
be  sold  without  the  joint  concurrence  of  the  two  boards, 
and  by  an  act  of  the  Legislature;  but  the  leasing,   farming 


6  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

and  managing  of  the  property  of  the  University  for  its  con- 
stant support,  shall  be  the  business  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 
For  this  purpose  they  are  hereby  constituted  a  body  corpo- 
rate and  politic  by  the  name  of  "The  Trustees  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Georgia,"  by  which  they  shall  have  perpetual  suc- 
cession and  shall  and  may  be  a  person  in  law,  capable  to 
plead  and  be  impleaded,  defend  and  be  defended,  answer  and 
be  answered  unto,  also  to  have,  take,  possess,  acquire,  pur- 
chase or  otherwise  receive  lands,  tenements,  hereditaments, 
goods,  chattels,  or  other  estates,  and  the  same  to  lease,  use, 
manage  or  improve,  for  the  good  and  benefit  of  said  Uni- 
versity ;  and  all  property  given  or  granted  to  or  b}r  the  gov- 
ernment of  this  State  for  the  advancement  of  learning  in 
general,  is  hereby  vested  in  such  Trustees,  in  trust,  as  herein 
described 

5.  Sec.  IV.  As  the  appointment  of  a  person  to  be  Presi- 
dent and  head  of  the  University  is  one  of  the  first  and  most 
important  concerns  on  which  its  respect  and  usefulness 
greatly  depends,  the  Board  of  Trustees  shall  first  examine 
and  nominate,  but  the  appointment  of  the  President  shall  be 
by  the  two  boards  jointly,  who  shall  also  have  the  power  of 
removing  him  from  office  for  misdemeanor,  unfaithfulness 
or  incapacity. 

6.  Sec  Y.  There  shall  be  a  stated  annual  meeting  of  the 
Senatus  Academicus  at  the  University,  or  at  any  other  place 
or  time  to  be  appointed  by  themselves,  at  which  the  Gov- 
ernor of  the  State,  or  in  his  absence,  the  President  of  the 
Council,  shall  preside;  their  records  to  be  kept  by  the  Secre- 
tary of  the  University. 

7.  Sec  VI.  As  the  affairs  and  business  of  the  University 
ma3r  make  more  frequent  meetings  of  the  Trustees  neces- 
sary, the  President  and  two  of  the  members  are  empowered 
toTappoint  a  meeting  of  the  board,  notice  always  to  be 
given  to  the  rest,  or  letters  left  at  the  usual  places  of  their 
abode,  at  least  fourteen  days  before  the  said  meeting;  seven 
of  the  Trustees  thus  convened  shall  be  a  legal  meeting.  In 
case  of  the  death,  absence  or  incapacity  of  the  President,  the 
senior  Trustee  shall  preside.     The  majority   of  the  members 


UNIVERSITY   OF   GEORGIA.  I 

• 

present  shall  be  considered  a  vote  of  the  whole,  and  where 
the  members  are  divided,  the  President  shall  have  the  cast- 
ing vote;  Provided^  always  that  nothing  done  at  these 
special  meetings  shall  have  any  force  or  efficacy  after  the  ris- 
ing of  the  then  next  annual  meeting  of  the  Trustees. 

8.  Sec.  VII.  The  Trustees  shall  have  the  power  of  filling  up 
all  vacancies  of  their  own  board,  and  appointing  profes- 
sors, tutors,  secretary,  treasurer,  stewards,  or  any  other 
officers  which  they  may  think  necessary,  and  thesame  to  dis- 
continue or  remove  as  they  may  think  fit ;  but  not  without 
seven  of  their  number,  at  least,  concurring  in  such  act. 

9.  Sec  VIII.  The  Trustees  shall  prescribe  the  course  of 
public  studies,  appoint  the  salaries  of  the  different  officers, 
form  and  use  a  public  seal,  adjust  and  determine  the  ex- 
penses, and  adopt  such  regulations,  not  otherwise  provided 
for,  which  the  good  of  the  University  may  render  necessary. 

10.  Sec.  IX.  All  officers  appointed  to  the  instruction  and 
government  of  the  University  shall  be  of  the  Christian  re- 
ligion ;  and  within  three  months  after  they  enter  into  the  exe- 
cution of  their  trust,  shall  publicly  take  oath  of  allegiance 
and  fidelity  and  the  oath  of  office  prescribed  in  the  statutes 
of  the  University;  the  President  before  the  Governor  or 
President  of  the  Council,  and  all  other  officers  before  the 
President  of  the  University. 

11.  Sec.  X.  The  President,  professors,  tutors,  students 
and  all  officers  and  servants  of  the  University  whose  office 
require  their  constant  attendance,  shall  be  and  they  are  here- 
by excused  from  military  duty  and  from  all  such  like  duties 
and  services,  and  all  land  and  other  property  of  the  Univer- 
sity is  hereby  exempted  from  taxation. 

12.  Sec  XI.  The  Trustees  shall  not  exclude  any  person  of 
any  religious  denomination  from  free  and  equal  liberty  and 
advantages  of  education,  or  from  any  of  the  liberties,  privi- 
leges and  immunities  of  the  University  in  his  education,  on 
account  of  his,  her,  or  their  speculative  sentiments  in  religion, 
or  being  of  a  different  religious  profession. 

13.  Sec  XII.  The  President  of  the  University,  with  the 
consent  of  the  Trustees,  shall  have  power  to  give  and  confer 


8  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

all  such  degrees,  honors  and  licenses  as  are  usually  con- 
ferred in  colleges  or  universities,  and  shall  always  preside  at 
the  meeting  of  the  Trustees  and  at  all  public  exercises  of  the 
University. 

14.  Sec.  XIII.  The  Senatus  Academicus,  at  theirstated  an- 
nual meetings,  shall  consult  and  advise,  not  only  upon  the  af- 
fairs of  the  University,  but  also/to  remedy  the  defects  and  ad- 
vance the  interests  of  literature  through  the  State  in  general. 
For  this  purpose  it  shall  be  the  business  of  the  members,  pre- 
vious to  their  meetings,  to  obtain  an  acquaintance  with  the 
state  and  regulations  of  the  schools  and  places  of  education 
in  their  respective  counties,  that  they  may  be  thus  possessed 
of  the  whole  and  have  it  lie  before  them  for  their  mutual 
assistance  and  deliberation.  Upon  this  information  they 
shall  recommend  what  kind  of  schools  and  academies  shall 
be  instituted,  agreeably  to  the  Constitution,  in  the  several 
parts  of  the  State,  and  prescribe  what  branches  of  education 
shall  be  taught  and  inculcated.  They  shall  also  examine 
and  recommend  the  instructors  to  be  employed  in  them,  or 
appoint  persons  for  that  purpose.  The  President  of  the 
University,  as  often  as  the  duties  of  his  station  will  permit, 
and  some  of  the  members,  at  least  once  in  a  year,  shall  visit 
them  and  examine  into  their  order  and  performances. 

15.  Sec  XIV.  All  public  schools  instituted  or  to  be  sup- 
ported by  funds  or  public  moneys  in  this  State,  shall  be  con- 
sidered as  parts  or  members  of  the  University  and  shall  be 
under  the  foregoing  directions  and  regulations. 

16.  Sec.  XV.  Whatsoever  public  measures  are  necessary 
to  be  adopted  for  accomplishng  these  great  and  important 
designs,  the  Trustees  shall,  from  time  to  time,  represent  and 
lay  before  the  General  Assembly. 

On  February  3,  1786,  an  act  was  passed  requiring  the 
trustees  to  meet  and  proceed  to  the  transaction  of  the 
business  for  which  they  had  been  appointed. 

In  pursuance  of  this  act,  the  first  meeting  of  the  trustees 
was  held  in  Augusta,  Georgia,  February  13,  1786.  There 
were  present  Abram  Baldwin,  William    Few,   William   Glas- 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA. 


cock,  John  Habersham,  Nathan  Brownson,  Hugh    Lawson 
and  Benjamin  Taliaferro. 

A  brain  Baldwin  was  chosen  president  of  the  University 
and  as  such  continued  until  the  institution  went  into  active 
operation  in  1801. 

The  work  of  the  trustees  for  the  next  fourteen  years  con 
sisted  of  the  management  of  their  lands  with  a  view  to  ac- 
cumulating a  fund  which  could  be  used  in  erecting  buildings 
and  paying  teachers.  The  scheme  contemplated  a  long  rent- 
roll,  according  to  the  English  ideas  that  prevailed  at  the  time, 
which  it  was  hoped  would  sustain  the  institution.  But  ex- 
perience proved  that  rents  of  lands  in  this  new  country  could 
not  be  depended  on  for  a  certain  income.

On  one  of  the  tracts  in  Greene  county  in  July,  1798,  the 
town  of  Greenesborough  was  laid  off  by  the  trustees,  and 
one  thousand  acres  of  land  were  offered  for  sale  or  lease  in 
the  immediate  neighborhood  of  the  new  town. 

It  was  the  desire  of  some  of  the  trustees  to  erect  a  build- 
ing in  Greenesborough  and  locate  the  college  there;  but  there 
seemed  to  have  been  great  difficulty  in  getting  a  quorum  of 
the  board  together  to  act  upon  the  suggestion.  A  meeting 
was  appointed  at  the  "Coffee  House"  in  Louisville,  then  the 
capital  of  the  State,  in  January,  1799.  It  took  three  suc- 
cessive adjournments  to  get'a  quorum  and  then  only  seven 
were  present.  After  the  meeting  of  the  board,  the  Senatus 
Academicus  was  formed  arid  proceeded  to  business.  This 
august  body  was  composed  of  the  Governor,  the  Senate,  the 
President  and  Trustees  of  the  University.  They  sat  in  sol- 
emn state  and  confirmed  or  rejected  the  acts  of  the  trus- 
tees. 

On  November  28,  1800,  the  Senatus  Academicus  organ- 
ized the  college  by  the  election  of  a  President  at  a  fixed  sal- 
ary of  $1,200  per  annum  and  prescribed  a  curriculum  of 
studies  for  six  classes  of  students.  The  course  of  study  began 
with  arithmetic,  geography,  composition  and  "speaking," 
and  ended  with  moral  philosophy,  trigonometry,  Latin  and 
Greek,  with  the  option  of  substituting  the  French  language 
for  either  of  the  others,  provided  the  tutor  might  be  able  to 
teach  it. 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  1  1 

In  addition  to  this,  the  trustees  were  directed  to  name  a  lo- 
cation for  the  college.  That  body  held  n  meeting  and  after 
repeated  balloting  decided  upon  Jackson  county  as  the  fa- 
vored place.  A  committee  was  appointed,  consisting  of  John 
Milledge,  Abram  Baldwin,  George  Walton,  John  Twiggs  and 
Hugh  Lawson,  who  should  visit  that  section  and  select  a  site 
for  the  buildings. 

The  committe,  in  the  latter  part  of  June,  1801— there  was 
no  unnecessary  haste  made  in  those  da}rs — met  at  Billup's 
Tavern  on  the  Lexington  road  and  thence  made  tours  of 
inspection  to  various  localities. 

The  Augusta  Chronicle  of  July  25,  1801,  tells  us  that  "the 
committee  repaired  to  the  county  of  Jackson  and  proceeded 
with  attention  and  deliberation  to  examine  a  number  of  situ- 
ations as  well  upon  the  tracts  belonging  to  the  University  as 
upon  others  of  private  individuals.  Having  completed 
their  views,  they  proceeded  by  ballot  to  make  the  choice, 
when  the  vote  was  unanimous  in  favor  of  a  place 
belonging  to  Mr.  Daniel  Easley  at  the  Cedar  Shoals 
upon  the  north  fork  o  the  Oconee  river  and  the  same  was 
resolved  to  be  selected  and  chosen  for  the  seat  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Georgia.  For  this  purpose  the  tract,  containing 
633  acres,  was  purchased  of  Mr.  Easley  by  Mr.  Milledge,  one 
of  the  committee,  and  made  a  donation  of  to  the  trustees  ; 
and  it  was  called  Athens." 

What  was  the  value  of  this  gift  of  Governor  Milledge  at 
the  time,  we  do  not  know— probably,  a  thousand  or  twelve 
hundred  dollars.  When  the  grants  by  the  State  were  made, 
there  being  very  much  land  and  very  few  people  in  Georgia 
the  40,000  acres  could  not  have  been  worth  very  much. 
Governor  Wilson  Lumpkin,  in  a  letter  published  in  1859,  said 
that  his  father  was  the  grantee  of  a  large  tract  of  land  in  the 
middle  part  of  the  State;  and  in  1783,  sold  400  acres  for  a 
rifle  and  another  tract  of  400  acres  for  a  saddle  horse.  If 
this  be  taken  as  a  criterion,  the  munificent  gift  of  the  State 
when  the  grant  was  made,  was  worth  about  fifty  rifles  and 
as  many  saddle    horses,  from  which,  however,  twelve  horses 


V2  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

should  be  deducted  for  the  5,000  acres  lost  in  the  adjust- 
ment of  the  South  Carolina  line. 

But  coming  out  of  the  war  of  the  Revolution,  her  people 
impoverished,  her  commerce  destroyed,  her  resources  limited, 
the  State  had  nothing  else  but  land,  and  such  as  she  had  she 
freely  gave.  And  though  valueless,  it  may  be,  then,  the  lands 
afterwards  yielded  the  University  a  permanent  fund  of  one 
hundred  thousand  dollars,  while  the  generosity  of  Governor 
Milledge  brought  her,  first  and  last,  thirtA^  thousand  dollars, 
and  sustained  her  at  sundry  times  when  in  dire  distress.  In 
recognition  of  her  obligation  to  him,  the  University  has  called 
the  chair  of  ancient  languages  "The  Milledge  Chair  of  An- 
cient Languages;  "  and  in  other  resolutions,  from  time  to 
time,  have  the  trustees  testified  their  appreciation  of  the  gift. 

Reference  has  been  made  to  the  loss  of  5,000  acres  in  the 
State  of  South  Carolina.  The  line  between  Georgia  and 
South  Carolina  was  determined  to  be  the  northern  bank  of 
the  Savannah  river  at  high  water;  and  where  it  forked,  the 
larger  of  the  two  streams  should  be  considered  a  continuation 
of  the  Savannah.  The  Tugalo  and  the  Keowee  or  Seneca, 
formed  the  first- fork  from  its  mouth  and  it  became  a  ques- 
tion which  was  the  larger.  It  was  generally  conceded  that 
the  Seneca  was  the  principal  stream  and  was  therefore  con- 
sidered the  boundary  line  between  the  States. 

The  lands  between  the  rivers  belonged  then  to  Georgia,  a 
part  of  which  was  the  tract  granted  to  the  University,  con- 
taining 5,000  acres,  both  fertile  and  valuable.  Subsequent 
surveys,  pretending  to  be  more  carefully  made,  determined 
that  the  Tugalo  was  the  larger  stream  and  that  became  the 
boundary  line,  thereby  taking  from  the  University  her  valu- 
able lands.  A  committee  of  the  trustees  was  appointed  to 
ascertain  and  report  the  facts  in  connection  with  the  loss  of 
this  tract.  The}'  reported  that  the  tract  was  conceded  to 
the  State  of  South  Carolina  under  the  treaty  of  Beaufort, 
dated  April  28,  1787;  one  of  the  clauses  of  which  declared 
void  all  grants  under  the  State  of  Georgia  which  were  not 
registered  in  the  State  of  South  Carolina  within  twelve 
months  from  the  date  of  the  treaty.     This  treaty  was  rati- 


UNIVERSITY   OF    GEORGIA.  13 

fied  by  the  State  of  South  Carolina  on  the  29th  clay  of  Feb- 
ruary, 1788,  but  such  ratification  was  not  communicated  to 
the  Governor  of  Georgia  until  May  26,  1788.  The  grant 
for  the  tract  of  land  in  question  was  sent  to  the  proper  office 
in  South  Carolina  to  be  registered  immediately  after  the  re- 
ception of  such  communication,  but  it  was  not  recorded. 

The  committee  held  that  the  treaty  did  not  begin  to  oper- 
ate until  after  the  exchange  of  ratifications  between  the 
two.  States,  and  that  the  grant  was  presented  for  enrolment 
in  ample  time. 

They  also  held  that  the  tract  wras  the  property  of  the  Uni- 
versity prior  to  the  treaty  of  Beaufort,  and  no  power  was 
vested  in  the  commissioners  of  Georgia  to  transfer  its  prop- 
erty to  any  person  whatsoever.  The  tract  was  at  the  time, 
(1799)  reported  to  be  settled  by  claimants  under  the  State 
of  South  Carolina. 

The  trustees  made  ever\r  effort  to  retain  their  possession, 
employing  lawyers  to  prosecute  their  claims  before  the  Leg- 
islature of  South  Carolina  and  in  the  United  States  Circuit 
Court,  and  appointing  Thomas  Peter  Carnes,  one  of  their 
number,  a  commissioner,  it  is  supposed^  to  lobby.  Having 
spent  about  seven  hundred  dollars  in  this  case,  every  effort 
to  establish  their  title  or  effect  a  compromise  having  failed, 
after  eight  or  ten  years,  the  board  abandoned  the  whole 
matter. 

The  year  prior  to  the  selection  of  a  site  for  the  college, 
to-wit,  in  November,  1800,  Abram  Baldwin,  who  had  been  a 
tutor  at  Yale  College  before  his  removal  to  Georgia,  re- 
commended for  Professor  of  mathematics,  Josiah  Meigs,  of 
Connecticut,  whom  he  had  favorably  known  as  a  scholar 
and  a  successful  teacher. 

Mr.  Meigs  was  accordingly  appointed  "upon  examination" 
(we  suppose  on  probation)  at  a  salary  of  fifteen  hundred 
dollars  and  four  hundred  dollars  to  pay  the  expenses  of  re- 
moval to  Athens.  The  following  year,  upon  his  arrival  and 
introduction  to  the  trustees,  Mr.  Baldwin  resigned  the  pres- 
idency and  Mr.  Meigs  was  elected  in  his  stead.  The  trustees 
directed  Mr.  Meigs  to  erect  one  or  more  log  buildings  for  the 


14  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

college,  and  requested  him  to  teach  until  enough  students 
should  attend  to  authorize  the  employment  of  a  tutor. 

The  surroundings  were  unpromising,  but  nothing  daunted, 
President  Meigs  set  to  work  with  zeal  and  vigor  to  organ- 
ize a  school  in  the  woods. 

He  had  a  clearing  made  for  the  campus,  a  street  was  laid 
out,  lots  were  staked  off  and  a  town  projected.  Several 
citizens  from  other  parts  of  the  State,  among  them 
the  Rev.  Hope  Hull,  came  with  their  families  and  settled  in 
the  village. 

The  Augusta   Chronicle  thus  describes  the  place  in    1802  : 

"The  river  at  Athens  is  about  150  feet  broad  ;  its  waters 
rapid  in  their  descent  and  has  no  low  grounds.  The  site  of 
the  University  is  on  the  south  (?)  side  and  half  a  mile  from 
the  river.  About  200  yards  from  the  site  and  300  feet 
above  the  river,  in  the  midst  of  an  extensive  bed  of  rock,  issues 
a  copious  spring  of  excellent  water,  and  in  its  meanderings 
to  the  river  several  others  are  discovered.  On  the  place  is  a 
new,  well-built  frame  dwelling  house,  entirely  equal  to  the 
accommodation  of  the  president  and  his  family.  There  is  also 
another  new  house  equal  to  a  temporary  school-room.  The 
square  of  the  University,  containing  36V2  acres,  is  laid  off  so 
as  to  comprehend  the  site,  the  houses  and  the  spring.  A 
street  is  laid  off  on  the  northern  line  of  the  square  adjoining 
a  village  of  lots  in  that  direction.  Besides  the  spring  in  the 
square,  which  is  convenient  to  the  village,  there  is  one  in  the 
street  and  another  back  of  the  lots. 

"Near  Athens,  Mr.  Easley  has  an  excellent  flour  mill,  a  saw 
and  common  grist  mill  with  intention  to  add  a  cotton 
machine.  To  drive  these,  the  rapids  opposite  Athens  are 
slightly  dammed,  so  as  the  ordinary  supply  of  the  river  neither 
increases  or  diminishes  the  size  of  the  pond.  Besides  the  lesser 
fish  of  fresh  waters,  the  shad,  in  their  season,  ascend  the  river 
as  high  as  Athens  in  great  perfection." 

In  order  to  begin  these  improvements  a  loan  of  five  thou- 
sand dollars  was  asked  of  the  Legislature,  secured  by  mort- 
gages on  the  Hancock  county  lands. 


UNIVERSITY   OF    GEORGIA.  15 

Mr.  James  Gunn,of  Louisville,  at  this  juncture,  generously 
gave  the  University  one  thousand  dollars,  which,  with  a 
balance  in  hand,  made  about  seven  thousand  dollars  with 
which  to  begin  operations. 

Thus  re-enforced,  the  trustees  ordered  the  erection  of  the 
brick  building  which  still  stands,  the  earliest  monument  of 
their  efforts,  and  known  to  ever}-  student  as  "Old  College." 
The  difficulties  of  building  would  now  be  thought  almost 
insurmountable.  Lime  cost  $10  a  cask  and  nails  were  pro- 
portionately high.  Both  had  to  be  hauled  in  wagons  from 
Augusta.  Brick  made  five  miles  away  cost  $7.50  per  thou- 
sand and  $4  more  for  laying  them.  All  building  material 
was  very  difficult  to  get  and  mechanics'  labor  was  ex- 
tremely unreliable.  The  contract  for  building  Old  College 
was  let  to  Mr.  John  Billups.  Mr.  Easley  built  the  presi- 
dent's house;  and  the  frame  .school-room  cost,  completed, 
$187.27. 

In  spite  of  all  difficulties,  however,  the  institution  grew. 
In  November,  1803,  President  Meigs  reported  to  the  board 
that  "three  dwelling  houses,  three  stores  and  a  number  of 
other  valuable  buildings  have  been  erected  on  Front  street. 
The  students,  citizens  and  inhabitants  of  Athens  have  been 
remarkably  healthy  during  the  year,  and  the  spring  has  not 
failed  as  to  quantity  of  water,  but  rather  increased.  The 
number  of  students  has  been  between  thirty  and  thirty -five. 
(A  pretty  fair  margin.)  Twelve  young  gentlemen  compose 
the  senior  class.  They  are  pursuing  with  laudable  ambition 
and  singular  industry,  a  course  of  reading,  study  and  aca- 
demic exercises,  and  it  i& believed  by  the  first  of  May  next 
they 'will  m^.rit  the  first  degree  usually  conferred  in  all  regular 
collegiate  establishments.  The  philosophical  apparatus  and 
a  small  selection  of  books  are  now  on  their  way  from  Lon- 
don to  Savannah,  and  I  am  confident  it  will  be  at  least  equal 
in  real  utility  to  any  one  belonging  to  any  literary  institu- 
tion in  the  United  States. 

"You  have,  in  less  than  two  years,  done  much  if  you  com- 
pare the  effects  of  your  labors  with  those  of  the  directors  of 
the  ancient  similar  institutions  of  William  and  Marv  in  Vir-

1803-1808. 

In  1803,  Hope  Hull.  Thomas  P.  Carnes  and  John  Clarke 
were  appointed  a  ''Prudential  Committee"  of  the  trustees, 
a  standing  committee  which  has  continued  to  the  present 
day.  Upon  this  committee  devolved  the  duty  of  acting  for 
the  board  in  cases  of  emergency  and  of  advising  with  the 
president  at  all  times  in  the  interests  of  the  college. 

A  Grammar  School  was  established  too,  with  Rev.  John 
Hodge  as  master,  who  was  afterwards  for  a  long  time  the 
secretary  of  the  trustees.  The  grammar  school  was  for 
many  years  a  valuable  adjunct  to  the  college  in  preparing 
boys  for  the  higher  classes.  Itwas  theoutcomeof  President 
Meigs'  complaint  that  there  were  so  few  academies  in  the 
State  which  gave  their  pupils  the  preparation  necessary  for 
admission  to  college — a  complaint  which  may  with  justice 
be  made  at  the  present  day.  In  later  years  the  grammar 
school  became  unpopular  from  a  custom  of  the  faculty  sen- 
tencing idle  arid  refractor\'  students  to  " three  months  in  the 
grammar  school,"  and  in  1829  it  was  discontinued  alto- 
gether. 

The  first  commencement  of  the  college  occurred  May  31, 
1804.  The  president  issued  a  "diploma"  to  Addin  Lewis 
and  others  authorizing  them  to  examine  the  senior  class  for 
degrees.  Their  report  was  presented  to  the  trustees,  who 
thereupon  directed  the  president  to  confer  "the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Arts  upon  Gibson  Clarke,  Augustin  S.  Clayton, 
Thomas  Irwin,  Jeptha  V.Harris,  William  H.  Jackson,  James 
D.  Jackson,  James  Wayne,  Robert  Rutherford,  Williams 
Rutherford  and  William  Williamson,  alumni  of  this  Univer- 
sity ;   and  that  Ebenezer  H.  Cumming,  Bachelor  of  Arts  of 


18  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

Hampden  Sidney  College,  be  admitted  ad  eundem;  and  that 
Elijah  Clarke,  William  Prince,  John  Forsyth  and  Henry 
Meigs  be  respectively  admitted  to  the  degree  of  Master  of 
Arts." 

The  board  then  accompanied  the  students  in  procession  to 
attend  the  commencement  when  the  following  exercises  were 
performed :

UNIVERSITY   OF   GEORGIA.  19 

A  concluding  prayer,  by  Rev.  Hope  Hull. 

The  board  then  returned  to  the  college,  where  they  declared 
that  they  "have  with  pleasure  and  satisfaction  beheld  the 
great  and  rapid  improvement  in  science  of  the  students  of 
the  University  and  felicitate  themselves  on  the  prospect  of 
the  institution  becoming  conspicuously  and  eminently  useful 
to  the  community." 

These  commencement  exercises,  and  so  for  several  years 
afterwards,  were  held  sub  arboribus,  in  the  open  air. 

Dr.  Henry  Hull  has  left  the  following  account : 

"I  have  been  present  at  every  commencement  of  the  college 
since  1804,  though  my  memory  only  reaches  back  to  that  of 
1806.  On  this  occasion  a  large  crowd  of  people  of  all  sorts, 
fromthe  country  and  from  towns,  male  and  female,  old  and 
young,  in  every  variety  of  costume,  were  assembled  under  a 
large  bush  arbor  in  front  of  the  Old  College,  supplied  with 
seats  made  of  plank  and  slabs  borrowed  for  the  occasion 
from  Easley's  saw  mill,  resting  on  blocks  or  billets  of  wood 
which  raised  them  from  the  ground.  The  stage  for  the  fac- 
ulty, trustees  and  speakers  was  erected  at  the  side  of  the 
college  building  and  the  speakers  when  called  came,  out  of 
the  door  at  the  east  end.  The  whole  was  built  mainly  by 
the  students.  The  poles  and  brush  for  the  arbor  were  grow- 
ing in  less  than  two  hundred  yards  from  the  place  where  they 
were  wanted ;  the  cutting  and  dragging  them  was  a  mere 
frolic,  and  as  'many  hands  make  light  work,'  the  affair  once 
begun  was  soon  completed.  The  intelligent  portion  of  the 
audience  were  of  course  interested  in  the  orations ;  but  the 
greater  part  looked  on  in  stupid  wonder  as  if  on  a  pageant, 
understanding  about  as  much  of  the  English  as  of  the  Greek 
and  Latin  speeches,  but  all  wrapt  in  profound  attention." 

A  plat  of  the  town  and  campus,  made  by  Mr.  Meigs  and 
Mr.  Hull,  by  direction  of  the  board,  shows  at  this  time  but 
few  houses  on  the  college  grounds.  The  Old  College,  east  of 
that  the  president's  house,  a  story  and  a  half  frame  dwelling 
which  wras  afterward  removed  to  make  room  for  the  brick 
house  now  standing;  the  grammar  school  near  the  spot 
now  occupied  by    Professor  Willcox's    house,    and   another

wooden  building  on  the  present  site  of  the  Phi  Kappa  hall, 
the  one  spoken  of  in  the  Chronicle  as  "equal  to  a  temporary 
school-room" — a  single  room  twent3rfeet  square,  with  a  chim- 
ney at  one  end,  an  unglazed  window  at  the  other  and  a  door 
in  each  side — these  comprised  the  improvements  on  the  cam- 
pus. No  fence  enclosed  the  area,  but  all  was  open,  while 
Front  street,  now  known  as  Broad,  was  a  lane  cleared 
through  the*  woods  and  doubtless  full  of  stumps.

PLAT  OF  ATHENS  AND  THE  CAMPUS  IN    1805. 

So  encouraging  were  the  prospects  of  the  college  that  the 
trustees  elected  Mr.  Addin  Lewis  to  be  tutor  and  Mons. 
Petit  de  Clairville,  professor  of  French.  Mr.  Lewis  was 
paid  $800,  and  Monsieur  Petit  $400  per  annum,  which  sug- 
gests the  belief  in  the  board  that  a  Frenchman  could  exist 
on  one-half  of  what  it  took  to  feed  the  Yankee. 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  22 

The  board  further  unanimously  ''resolved  that  the  present 
collegiate  buildings  at  Athens  be  hereafter  denominated  and 
known  by  the  name  of  Franklin  College." 

The  record  shows  that  on  Sunday,  July  6,  1806,  the  board 
met  at  8  o'clock  and  transacted  business,  and  I  note  with 
pleasure  that  the  Rev.  Hope  Hull  was  not  present. 

Application  was  made  to  the  Legislature  for  authorit\r  to 
establish  a  lottery  to  raise  three  thousand  dollars  for  the  pur- 
chase of  books.  The  request  it  seems,  was  refused — possibly 
because  of  the  Sunday  meeting — for  lotteries  were  not  con- 
demred  in  that  day,  but  on  several  occasions  were  legalized 
by  the  Legislature  as  late  as  1865.  Various  donations,  how- 
ever, were  made  from  time  to  time  to  the  library,  both  in 
valuable  books  and  in  money. 

It  was  the  constant  effort  of  the  authorities  to  add  to  the 
library  of  the  University,  and  the  wisdom  of  their  action  is 
proved  by  the  number  of  valuable  works  now  on  its 
shelves,  many  of  which  cannot  be  duplicated. 

The  necessity  for  a  chapel  was  growing  more  and  more 
pressing,  but  no  funds  were  available  for  the  purpose.  In 
1808,  Hope  Hull  offered  that  if  the  board  would  give  one 
hundred  dollars  for  a  belfry,  he  would  cause  to  be  erected  a 
chapel  40  by  60  and  18  feet  high.  The  oner  was  accepted 
and  several  trustees  at  once  contributed  to  the  chapel  fund. 
Thomas  Flourno\'  gave  $32,  General  Twiggs,  $50,  and  Peter 
Randolph,  $200. 

The  chapel  was  built  on  the  spot  where  the  present  chapel 
stands  and  served  its  purpose  for  twelve  years.

Meigs'  Resignation — Sketch  of  His  Life. 

1811. 

Iti  1808,  the  Legislature  declared  that  "whereas  the  Board 
of  Trustees  of  the  University  consists  of  thirteen  members,, 
which  is  deemed  too  unwieldly  and  expensive,  vacancies 
which  may  occur  shall  not  be  tilled  until  the  number  is  re- 
duced to  seven." 

But  apparently  the  trustees  did  not  die  or  resign  rapidly 
enough,  for  by  the  act  of  December  16,  1811,  the  number  was 
reduced  to  five  and  the  following  persons  were  appointed  : 
Peter  Early,  Edward  Paine,  Stephen  Upson,  John  Griffin, 
William  H.  Crawford. 

In  1816  the  number  was  increased  under  another  act  by  the 
appointment  of  David  B.  Mitchell,  Thomas  W.  P.  Charlton 
Nicholas  Ware,  Henry  Kollock,  Augustin  S.  Clayton,  James 
Merriwether,  James  M.  Wayne,  John  Elliott,  John  A.  Cuth- 
bert  and  George  M.  Troup.  Afterwards  Duncan  G.  Camp- 
bell and  Edward  Harden  were  added  and  the  board  was 
authorized  to  fill  its  own  vacancies. 

In  1808  the  board  ''learned  with  sincere  regret  that  the 
number  of  students  in  the  college  are  reduced  from  thirty  to 
thirteen,  and  in  the  grammar  school  from  forty  to  twenty- 
five."  A  committee  was  appointed  "to  enquire  into  there- 
ports  which  affect  the  reputation  of  the  president  of  the 
college  as  well  as  the  moral  character  and  discipline  of  the 
institution."  What  the  result  of  this  inquiry  was,  is  not 
known,  but  two  years  later  Mr.  Meigs  resigned  the  presi- 
dency, retaining  the  professorship  of  mathematics  and  nat- 
ural philosophy.  For  the  performance  of  these  duties  "with 
attention  and  diligence"  he  was  to  receive  the  sum  of  $1,200 
per  annum. 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  28 

This  action  of  the  trustees  Mr.  Meigs  seems  to  have 
acceded  to  ex  necessitate,  but  it  embittered  his  relations 
with  them  as  shown  in  the  following  affidavits  found  re- 
corded  in  the  minutes : 

"Hope  Hull,  one  of  the  members  of  this  board,  gives 
the  following  information  and  exhibits  the  same  as 
charges  against  Mr.  Professor  Meigs,  which  charges 
should  be  inquired  into  by  the  board,  viz.:  That  to  the 
best  of  his  recollection  the  da}7  after  the  adjournment  of  the 
board  in  August  last,  and  at  the  door  of  the  printing  office, 
he,  Mr.  Meigs,  addressing  himself  to  Mr.  Hull,  uttered  in 
substance  the  following  words  :  '  You  have  appointed  Camp- 
bell your  secretary.  However,  I  suppose  he  will  do  well 
enough  as  a  secretary  for  the  Tories  ! '  Mr.  Meigs  has  further 
said  in  the  presence  of  Mr.  Hull,  that  'the  State  of  Georgia 
had  great  reason  to  thank  God  for  one  honest  man — Judge 
Early — if  it  had  not  been  for  him  the  lands  belonging  to  the 
institution  would  have  been  sold  and  the  money  pocketed,' 
and  mamr  other  expressions  and  observations  of  a  similar 
import,  but  not  now  precisely  recollected. 

"  (Signed)         Hope  Hull. 

"Sworn  to  before  me,  this  8th  August,  1811,  at  Athens. 

Robert  Walker,  Judge." 

And  the  following : 

"  In  a  conversation  with  Mr.  Meigs  a  few  days  after  the 
adjournment  of  the  board  in  August  last,  upon  the  subject 
of  the  congressional  and  county  elections,  he  observed  in 
substance  as  follows  :  'You,'  addressing  himself  tome,  'can- 
not think  to  gain  the  confidence  of  the  people  afteryour con- 
duct relative  to  the  college  lands.  The  facts  stated  in  the 
piece  that  appeared  in  the  Express  against  you  last  week 
were  furnished  by  me,  and  there  are  other  facts  which  I  in- 
tend to  communicate.  But  I  cannot  so  muchblameyou ;  for 
you  are  a  tool  of  other  great  men.'  But  for  one  honest  man,  or 
the  only  honest  man  among  them,  the  board  of  trustees 
would  have  sold  the  college  lands  and  would  have  squan- 
dered the  money  away  to  their  own  uses.  They  were  all  a 
damned  pack  or  band  of  Tories  and  speculators,  and  if  the}' 


24  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

had  have  (sic)  turned  him  out  of  his  office,  he  would  have 
published  their  villainy  and  dishonesty  to  the  world  and 
have  shown  them  in  their  proper  colors.  They  had  made 
him  professor  of  natural  philosophy  and  chemistry  and 
given  him  a  poor  pitiful  salary  of  twelve  hundred  dollars — 
damn  them — he  reckoned  they  would  make  him  next  professor 
of  cabbages  and  turnips — and  much  more  such  conversa- 
tion not  now  detailed,  but  the  above  is  the  substance  of  the 
conversation. 

" (Signed)        Augustin  S.  Clayton. 
"Sworn  to  before  me,  this  8th  August,  1811,  at  Athens. 

Robert  Walker,  Judge." 

Mr.  Meigs  was  given  an  opportunity  for  defense  against 
these  charges,  but  whatever  he  replied  it  was  evidently  not 
satisfactory,  for  "having  this  day  heard  the  defense  of  Mr. 
Professor  Meigs  and  the  affidavits  exhibited  in  support 
thereof,  and  having  maturely  considered  the  same  together 
with  the  charges  and  proofs  exhibited  against  him,  the 
board  are  of  opinion  that  he  hath  been  guilty  of  great  mis- 
conduct and  ought  to  be  removed  from  his  office.  Where- 
upon, resolved,  that  Josiah  Meigs  be  and  he  is  hereby  re- 
moved from  the  office  of  professor  of  mathematics,  nat- 
ural philosophy  and  chemistry  in  Franklin  College." 

Josiah  Meigs,  the  first  active  president  of  the  University  of 
Georgia,  was  a  native  of  Connecticut,  the  thirteenth  child 
of  his  parents,  born  in  1757.  His  eldest  brother,  Colonel 
Return  J.  Meigs,  was  a  distinguished  officer  of  the  Revolu- 
tion and  the  father  of  the  postmaster-general  under  Presi- 
dent Monroe. 

Josiah  Meigs  graduated  at  Yale  College  at  the  age  of  twen- 
ty-one. In  1 781 ,  he  was  appointed  tutor  of  mathematics  and 
natural  philosophy  and  in  1794,  professor  in  the  same  chair  in 
that  institution.  In  the  meantime  he  was  married  to  Miss 
Clara  Benjamin  and  removed  to  Bermuda  for  the  practice 
of  law,  a  profession  for  which,  however,  he  seemed  to  have 
but  little  taste.  His  tenure  of  office  at  Yale  was  brief.  The 
Dwights  made  a  bitter  fight  on  him  on  account  of  his  "Jeffer- 
sonian  Democracy ' '  as  we  call  it  now — ' '  Republicanism ' '  it  was 
known  then — and  the  trustees  relieved  him  of  his  chair  in  1798

UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  25 

Upon  his  acceptance  of  the  presidency  of  the  University 
of  Georgia,  he  at  once  entered  with  ardor  upon  the  work 
and  submitted  a  report  to  the  trustees  setting  forth  his 
views  on  the  curriculum,  the  text-books,  instruments  and 
library  necessary  for  the  equipment  of  such  an  institution  as 
was  contemplated. 

A  man  of  great  energy,  fearless,  honest  and  pure,  he  gave 
all  his  abilities  to  the  upbuilding  of  the  college.  In  person  he 
was  tall  and  spare,  with  blue  eyes  and  florid  complexion, 
blessed  with  perfect  health  which  was  uninterrupted  until 
his  last  and  fatal  illness.  In  manner  he  was  affable  and 
kind,  but  quickly  aroused  and  especially  excitable  on  the 
subject  of  politics.  In  fact,  he  suffered  for  his  political  views 
at  Athens  as  he  had  at  Yale,  for  it  was  the  free  expression 
of  his  opinions  that  brought  about  the  immediate  causes  of  his 
removal  from  the  presidency  and  the  loss  of  his  professorship. 

Left  stranded  by  his  dismissal,  not  only  poor  but 
in  debt,  Mr.  Meigs  remained  in  Athens  until  1812,  when  Mr. 
Jefferson,  to  whom  he  was  well  known,  secured  for  him  the 
appointment  of  surveyor-general,  with  his  office  at  Cincin- 
nati. Two  3rears  later,  he  was  made  commissioner  of  the 
general  land  office  and  removed  to  Washington,  where  he 
lived  until -his  death,  which  occurred  September  4th,  1822. 
His  widow,  Dr.  Charles  D.  Meigs,  the  distinguished  physician 
of  Philadelphia,  Henry  Meigs,  a  prominent  lawyer  of  New 
York,  and  other  children  survived  him.  His  daughter,  Clara, 
married  Mr.  John  Forsyth,  one  of  Georgia's  most  honored 
sons.  General  M.  C.  Meigs,  quartermaster-general  of  the 
United  States  during  the  Civil  War,  was  his  grandson,  and 
many  others  of  his  descendants  are  now  living  in  New  York 
and  Philadelphia.

President  John  Brown — His  Weak  Administration — Dr.    Henry  Jack- 
son— Suspension  of  Exercises — Sketch  of  Dr.  Brown. 

1811-1816. 

Upon  the  resignation  of  the  presidency'  by  Mr.  Meigs,  the 
Rev.  Dr.  Henry  Kollock,  of  Savannah,  was  elected  to  the 
office,  but  declined. 

Rev.  Hope  Hull,  as  chairman  of  the  prudential  commit- 
tee, was  appointed  to  act  as  president  until  the  vacancy 
should  be  filled. 

In  1811,  Rev.  John  Brown,  of  Columbia,  S.  C.,was  elected 
and  accepted  the  appointment. 

Mr.  John  R.  Goulding,  of  the  same  city,  was  made  professor 
of  languages. 

Dr.  Henry  Jackson,  then  a  young  man  not  long  arrived 
in  Georgia  from  England,  having  been  recommended  by  the 
governor,  was  employed  as  an  instructor  in  mathematics, 
"f  or  the  expenses  of  his  board  and  lodging  until  such  time 
as  the  state  of  the  funds  shall  authorize  a  competent  salary 
for  his  services."  That  time  came  ere  long  when  Professsor 
Meigs  was  removed  and  Dr.  Jackson  was  appointed  to 
succeed  him. 

During  President  Brown's  administration  the  fortunes  of 
the  college  steadily  declined.  Much  was  no  doubt  due  to 
the  stringency  of  the  times,  the  period  of  the  war  of  1812 
being  included  in  his  incumbency.  But  the  lack  of  discipline 
and  the  general  laxity  of  the  faculty  in  the  discharge  of 
their  duties,  brought  upon  them  the  censure  of  the  board. 

Dr.  Jackson,  who  proved  to  be  an  able  instructor,  had 
gone  as  charge  des  affaires  under  Mr.  Crawford,  our  minis- 
ter to  Paris.  His  place  was  temporarily  filled  by  Professor 
William  Green.  Complaints  were  made  of  neglect  by  both 
faculty  and  students  of  the  religious  exercises  of  the  college; 
of  uncleanly  rooms  arid  slovenly  habits ;  and  even  of  offen- 
sive immorality.    A  student,  fearless    of    the  consequences, 


UNIVERSITY   OF   GEORGIA.  '1 1 

had  the  temerity  to  publish  a  libelous  paper  about  the  fac- 
ulty, and  the  laws  of  the  institution  were  held  in   contempt. 

The  attendance  of  students  fell  off,  the  income  of  the  col- 
lege diminished,  and  as  a  necessary  result,  salaries  were  cut 
down— that  of  the  president  to  $1,000,  of  professors  to 
$700  and  $600.  To  meet  pressing  demands,  a  loan  of 
$5,000  was  negotiated,  and  an  effort  was  made  to  raise 
funds  by  the  sale  of  lands.  Lots  in  Athens,  west  of  what  is 
now  Lumpkin  street  were  laid  off  in  four-acre  sections  and 
offered  for  sale  at  a  minimum  price  of  $15  per  acre  on  two 
years'  time. 

In  this  desperate  state  of  affairs  it  was  thought  best  to 
suspend  for  a  time  the  exercises  of  the  college. 

President  Brown  and  Professor  Green  resigned,  leaving 
Air.  Goulding  to  comprise  the  faculty.  That  gentleman,  as 
"senior  professor,"  took  charge  of  the  premises,  and  in  the 
meantime  taught  a  school  for  his  support. 

The  fortunes  of  the  college  were  at  the  lowest  ebb  in  its 
history,  and  its  best  friends  almost  despaired  of  any  revival 
of  prosperity. 

John  Brown  was  born  in  County  Antrim,  Ireland,  June 
15,  1763,  and  came  with  his  father  to  America,  settling  in 
Chester  District,  South  Carolina.  His  educational  advan- 
tages were  very  limited,  eighteen  months  covering  the  period 
of  his  schooling,  part  of  which  time  he  was  the  schoolmate 
of  General  Andrew  Jackson. 

At  sixteen  years  of  age,  he  volunteered  under  General  Sum- 
ter and  fought  gallantly  until  the  close  of  the  war  of  the 
Revolution  in  the  campaigns  against  Tarleton  and  Corn- 
wallis. 

Feeling  called  to  preach  the  gospel,  Mr.  Brown  studied 
theology  at  Salisbury,  X.  C,  under  Dr.  McCorkle  and  was 
licensed  to  preach  by  the  Presbytery  of  Concord  in  1788. 

The  next  few  \-ears  were  passed  in  preaching  and  teach- 
ing; then,  being  called  to  Waxhaw  church,  he  served  as  its 
pastor  ten  years.  Resigning  this  charge,  he  again  took  up 
the  profession  of  teaching  and  achieved  some  literary  repu- 
tation. In  1809,  he  was  called  to  the  chair  of  logic  and 
moral  philosophy  in  South  Carolina  College,  and  two  years 


28  HISTORIC  AL    SKETCH 

later  was  elected  president  of  the  University  of  Georgia, 
which  office  he  held  until  1816. 

Dr.  Brown  was  distinguished  for  his  great  excellence  of 
character,  his  humility  and  generosity.  He  was  essentially 
a  good  man.  Rev.  Dr.  Talmadge  used  to  call  him  "Our 
Apostle  John."  He  had  a  vigorous  mind  and  a  fine  com- 
mand of  language,  but  though  a  man  of  great  firmness  of 
character,  he  was  defective  in  some  of  the  essential  qualities 
of  a  teacher,  especially  failing  both  to  excite  the  interest  and 
to  hold  the  attention  of  his  students.  Added  to  this,  his  want 
of  the  executive  talent  needful  in  the  head  of  an  institu- 
tion of  learning,  made  his  administration  a  signal  failure. 
Conscious  himself  of  this,  Dr.  Brown  resigned  the  presidency 
in  1816,  and  retired  to  his  home  near  Athens,  w^here  he  lived 
for  several  years,  doing  good,  and  honored  of  all  men. 

Subsequently,  Dr.  Brown  served  for  twelve  years  as  pastor 
of  a  church  in  Hancock  county,  and  then  removed  to  Fort 
Gaines,  where  he  died  in  1842,  in  the  eightieth  year  of  his 
age.

VI. 

The  Constitutional  Debt  of  $100,000— Election  of  President  Finley— 
Improvements  on  the  Campus — Dr.  Finley's  Death — Rev.  Hope 
Hull. 

1817-1818. 

During  the  first  thirty  years  of  its  corporate  existence,  the 
University  had  sold  its  lands  except  in  Clarke  county  and 
had  in  hand  $150,000  of  notes,  secured  by  mortgage,  as  the 
proceeds. 

Upon  the  interest  collected  upon  these  notes  with  occa- 
sional encroachments  on  the  principal  as  it  was  paid,  the  in- 
stitution had  erected  its  buildings  and  paid  its  current  ex- 
penses. There  being  no  regular  income,  however,  upon 
which  it  could  rely,  the  Legislature  passed  the  act  of  Decem- 
ber 15,  1815,  authorizing  the  Governor  to  advance  to  the 
board  of  trustees,  two-thirds  the  face  value  of  those  notes 
upon  their  being  deposited  in  the  State  treasury.  No  money 
was  to  be  paid  for  them,  but  upon  the  organization  of  the 
Bank  of  the  State  of  Georgia,  the  Governor  subscribed  for 
one  thousand  shares  for  the  Universit/y  of  Georgia  and  upon 
the  surrender  of  the  notes  and  mortgages,  transferred  the 
stock  to  the  trustees. 

The  trustees  were  prohibited  by  law  from  selling  or  other- 
wise disposing  of  this  stock,  but  the  dividends  could  be  used 
for  the  various  requirements  of  the  University. 

The  income  from  the  investment  was  guaranteed  by  the 
State  to  amount  to  $8,000  per  annum.  For  several  years, 
during  its  most  successful  period,  the  bank  stock  paid  annu- 
ally ten  thousand  dollars,  but  with  all  other  concerns  of  like 
character  it  was  lost  in  the  wreck  of  the  Civil  War.  Despite 
this,  however,  the  State  never  repudiated  its  obligation,  but 
regularly  and  promptly  paid  the  interest  from  the  treasury. 
The  constitution  of  1877  recognized  the  debt  of  one  hundred 
thousand  dollars  and  the  annual  interest  has  become  a  fixed 
charge  upon  the  State. 


30  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

Such  is  the  history  of  the  eight  thousand  dollars  annuity. 

With  the  prospect  of  a  stated  income,  a  reorganization  of 
the  college  was  effected. 

Dr.  Robert  Finley,  of  New  Jersey,  was  elected  president  and 
took  the  oath  of  office  in  May,  1817.  Professsor  Goulding 
retained  hischair;  Professor  Jackson,  having  returned  from 
Europe,  was  at  his  old  post.  Mr.  James  Camak,  of  Colum- 
bia, S.  C,  and  Mr.  Ashury  Hull,  of  Athens,  were  appointed 
tutors. 

The  Legislature  advanced  the  hoard  ten  thousand  dollars 
on  the  pledge  of  its  surplus  bonds.  Thus  assisted,  the  trus- 
tees appropriated  une  thousand  dollars  for  the  library,  and 
made  a  contract  for  a  home  for  the  president  to  be  built  for 
eight  thousand  dollars.  This  is  the  brick  dwelling  east  of 
Old  College,  which  replaced  the  old  frame  dwelling. 

The  spirit  of  improvement  denned  the  limits  of  the  cam- 
pus by  the  street  on  the  east  leading  to  the  graveyard  and 
that  on  the  wrest  leading  to  the  "Tanyard  Branch."  A 
half  acre  of  land  was  offered  gratuitously  to  any  religi- 
ous denomination  who  should  first  apply,  on  condition  they 
build  a  church  thereon. 

President  Finley  entered  upon  his  office  with  zeal  and 
ability.  Presiding  at  the  commencement  in  June,  he  im- 
pressed the  audience  with  his  ease  and  dignity.  It  was, 
however,  a  commencement  only  in  name— there  were  in  all 
but  twenty-eight  students  in  the  college.  After  the  closing 
exercises,  Dr.  Finley  set  out  to  make  a  tour  of  the  State  in 
order  to  become  better  acquainted  with  the  people  and  to 
secure  their  patronage  and  their  aid  in  restoring  and  rebuild- 
ing the  institution.  In  this  tour  he  was  remarkably  success- 
ful, but  his  usefulness  was  suddenly  cut  short  by  his  un- 
timely death.  Returning  home  in  September,  he  was  pros, 
trated  with  a  bilious  attack,  common  at  that  season,  and 
lingering  until  October  3d,  he  sank  in  death. 

Robert  Finley  was  born  in  Princeton,  N.  J.,  in  the  year 
1772.  His  father,  James  Finley.  a  Scotchman,  was  the 
friend  of  President  Witherspoon  of  Princeton,  and  himself 
a  man  of  great  probity  of  character.  Robert  Finley  was  in- 
structed by  Mr.  Ashbel  Green,  tutor  and   afterwards  presi- 


1NIYKKS1TY    OF    GEORGIA.  31 

dent  of  the  College  of  New  jersey,  and  was  admitted  to   the 
freshman  class  in  that  institution  in  his   eleventh    year,   re- 
ceiving the  degree  of  A.  B.  when  he  was  sixteen.    A  youth  of 
grave  demeanor  and  force  of  character,  he  was  appointed  a 
teacher  in  the  grammar  school  and  at  once  manifested   that 
peculiar  talent  for  governing  boys  which  made  him   famous 
in  after  years.     Some  of  the  pupils  in  this  school,  older  than 
Finley,  broke  out  into  open  rebellion  against   his  authority, 
but  he  maintained  the  discipline  of  his  room  at  the  expense 
of  several  suspensions  and  had  no  further  trouble  from  that 
source.     At  nineteen  years  of  age  he  was  invited    to    take  a 
school  in  Charleston,  S.  C,  where  he  spent  a  year,  returning 
to  Princeton  to  accept  the  appointment    of    tutor    in   that 
college. 

In  1794,  Mr.  Finley  was  licensed  to  preach  the  gospel  by 
presbyter}-,  and  the  following  year  was  called  to  the  church 
at  Basking  Ridge,  X.  J.  Here  he  spent  almost  all  the  re- 
mainder of  his  life,  preaching  and  teaching.  He  conducted 
one  of  the  best  known  grammar  schools  in  the  countrv. 

In  1798,  hewasmarried  to  Miss  Esther  Caldwell,  daughter 
of  the  "Fighting  Parson  of  the  Revolution."  With  her  and 
their  nine  children  he  removed  to  Georgia  in  1817,  after  he 
had  accepted  the  invitation  of  the  trustees  to  preside  over 
the  University  of  Georgia,  whose  destiny  seemed  to  be  hov_ 
ering  between  life  and  death. 

Dr.  Finley  was  much  discouraged  upon  his  arrival  at  Ath- 
ens, to  find  the  college  in  such  a  woeful  plight.  He  found,  as 
he  wrote  to  a  friend,  "a  new  country  suffering  greatly  for 
want  of  good  mechanics  and  the  comforts  of  life.  The  col- 
lege is  at  its  last  gasp ;  the  scorn  of  its  enemies  and  the  pity 
of  its  friends;  forgotten  in  the  public  mind,  or  thought  of 
onh-  to  despair  of  it;  neglected  and  deserted,  the  buildings 
nearly  in  ruins  and  the  trustees  doubtful  if  it  can  be  recov- 
ered . ' ' 

Dr.  Finley's  death,  though  following  close  upon  so  brief  a 
connection  with  the  college,  was  felt  to  be  a  public  calamity. 
The  trustees  appropriated  two  hundred  dollars  to  the  erec- 
tion of  a  monument  over  his  grave,  and  resolved  that  his 
sons    should  be  at  no  charge  for  their  education  at  Athens. 


32  HISTORICAL   SKETCH 

They  further  ordered  the  president  to  make  a  title  to  Mrs. 
Finley  to  airy  two  lots  in  the  town  of  Athens  she  might 
choose,  from  the  unsold  lands  of  the  University. 

The  following  year,  1818,  occurred  the  death  of  Rev. 
Hope  Hull.  The  services  of  this  staunch  friend  of  the  Uni- 
versity make  him  deserving  of  more  than  a  passing  notice. 
Coming  to  Athens  in  1803,  he  devoted  himself  with  untiring 
industry  to  the  material,  intellectual  and  spiritual  advance- 
ment of  the  community,  and  perhaps  no  man  contributed  so 
much  to  stamp  indelibly  upon  them  the  sober  and  religious 
character  which  the  town  and  its  vicinity  have  always 
borne. 

Dr.  Lovick  Pierce  said  of  him  :  "He  was  the  founder  of 
Methodism  in  this  section  and  in  the  vigor  of  his  man- 
hood his  fame  was  almost  world-wide.  He  used  to  be 
known  under  the  coarse  but  graphic  appellation  of  'Broad 
Axe,'  an  honorary  distinction  conferred  on  him  because  of 
the  mighty  power  that  attended  his  ministry.  My  eyes  first 
fell  on  him  as  he  sat  near  the  pulpit  of  a  small  log  chapel 
near  Athens,  called  'Hull's  Meeting  House.'  The  wonderful 
reports  which  had  reached  me  made  me  look  upon  him 
rather  as  an  august  than  a  fatherly  being.  His  head  was 
rather  above  the  medium  size,  his  black  hair  curling,  just 
sprinkled  with  grey.  His  face  was  an  exceedingly  fine  one — 
a  well-developed  forehead,  a  small,  keen  blue  eye,  with  a 
heavy  brow,  indicative  of  intense  thought.  His  shoulders 
were  unusually  broad  and  square,  his  chest  wide  and  his 
voice  full,  flexible  and  cajjable  of  every  variety  of  intona- 
tion, from  the  softest  sounds  of  s\'mpathy  and  persuasion  to 
the  thunder  tones  of  wrath.  Many  ignorant  sinners  charged 
him  with  having  learned  their  secrets,  and  using  the  pulpit 
to  gratify  himself  in  their  exposure,  and  when  convinced  of 
their  mistake  doubted  whether  he  were  not  a  prophet.*    His 


*A  student  in  the  senior  class,  during- a  sermon  delivered  by  Mr.  Hull  in  the  college 
chapel  in  1812,  was  angered  by  what  he  believed  to  be  a  public  exposure  of  his  delinquencies, 
and  afterwards  meeting  Mr.  Hull  on  the  campus,  was  very  rude  and  insulting  to  him.  The 
president  reported  the  fact  to  the  board  then  in  session,  and  an  order  was  passed  with- 
holding his  degree  from  the  young  man,  unless  he  should,  in  the  presence  of  the  trustees, 
the  faculty  and  the  body  of  students,  read  and  subscribe  to  a  written  apology  for  the  offence. 
This  being  done,  peace  reigned,  and  the  degree  was  conferred.

oratory  was  natural,  his  action  the  unaffected  expression 
of  his  mind.  He  seemed  in  some  of  his  finest  moods  of 
thought  to  look  his  words  into  you.  He  was  one  of  na- 
ture's orators.  In  many  of  his  masterly  efforts,  his  words 
rushed  upon  his  audience  like  an  avalanche  and  multitudes 
seemed  to  be  carried  before  him  like  the  yielding  captives  of 
a  stormed  castle.  Grave  and  guarded  as  he  was,  there  were 
moments  when  he  entertained  his  friends  with  the  recital  of 
thrilling  incidents  in  his  history.  He  survived  until  1818, 
when  he  died,  saying,  'God  has  laid  me  under  marching  or- 
ders.    I  am  read\-  to  obey.'  " 

The  following  resolution  was  entered  on  the  minutes  of 
the  trustees  :  "The  board,  entertaining  the  highest  sense  of 
the  long,  zealous  and  distinguished  usefulness  of  their  fellow- 
member,  the  Rev.  Hope  Hull,  and  feeling  the  deepest  regret 
for  his  loss,  most  unfeignedly  sympathize  with  his  family 
and  friends  for  their  afflictive  bereavement,  and  cheerfully 
offer  this  public  demonstration  of  their  entire  conviction  of 
his  worth  and  services."

1819-1822. 

Upon  the  death  of  President  Finley,  Rev.  Nathan  S.  S. 
Beman  was  elected  to  the  vacant  office.  That  gentleman  at 
first  accepted,  but  in  deference  to  the  wishes  of  an  invalid 
wife,  afterwards  declined  the  appointment. 

The  nomination  then,  of  Rev.  Ebenezer  Porter  of  Savan- 
nah, was  made,  but  he,  too,  declined. 

Rev.  Moses  Waddell  was  next  elected  president.  Mr.  Wad- 
dell was  born  in  Rowan  county,  N.  C,  July  29,  1770.  He 
attended  a  neighboring  school,  studying  with  such  diligence, 
that  when  he  was  but  fourteen  years  of  age,  he  was  invited 
to  take  a  school  at  a  little  distance  from  his  home,  with  the 
stipulated  remuneration  of  seventy  dollars  a  year  and  his 
board.  In  1786,  he  came  to  Greene  county,  Georgia,  with 
his  parents  and  opened  another  school.  He  was  quite  popu- 
lar with  the  young  people  and  was  invited  to  all  their  "par- 
ties," at  which  dancing  was  the  chief  feature  of  amusement. 

Mr.  Waddell  became  so  fond  of  this  pleasure  that  his  in- 
dulgence in  it  brought  him  to  the  serious  reflection  that  it  was 
harmful.  So  great  was  the  temptation  to  him  to  dance  that 
he  finally  changed  his  place  of  abode,  going  to  the  house  of 
a  pious  gentleman,  where  he  assiduously  spent  his  evenings 
in  the  study  of  the  classics.  In  1789,  he  professed  conver- 
sion and  joined  the  Presbyterian  church. 

Subsequently,  in  view  of  preparing  himself  to  preach  the 
gospel,  he  went  to  Hampden  Sidney  College,  entering  the 
senior  class  in  1791.  For  some  years  after  he  was  licensed, 
he  preached  and  taught  at  different  places,  finally  locating 
at  Willington,  S.  C.     In  the  meantime,  he    had    among  his. 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  ^5 

pupils,  William  H.  Crawford  and  John  C.  Calhoun,  men 
who  in  after  life  became  the  peers  of  any  this  country  lias 
ever  produced. 

Mr.  Waddell  was  married  first  to  a  sister  of  John  C.  Cal- 
houn, who  survived  her  marriage  but  little  more  than  a  year. 
In  1800,  he  was  married  a  second  time  to  Miss  Eliza  Pleas- 
ants of  Virginia. 

At  Willington,  Dr.  Waddell  began  a  work  of  education 
which  made  him  famous  throughout  the  South.  The 
school  numbered  at  its  maximum  attendance,  one  hundred 
and  eighty,  comprising  boys  who  afterwards  became  the 
most  distinguished  men  of  South  Carolina  and  Georgia. 

When  the  University  of  Georgia  was  lying  prostrate  un- 
der the  misfortune  of  President  Finley's  death,  superadded 
to  the  distressing  condition  in  which  he  found  it,  it  was  felt 
that  Dr.  Waddell  was  the  only  man  who  could  undertake  its 
resuscitation  with  any  hope  of  success. 

The  trustees  sent  him  an  urgent  invitation  to  assume  the 
presidency.  Though  ver\r  reluctant  to  face  the  responsibil- 
ity of  such  a  task,  he  yielded  to  the  arguments  of  the  com- 
mittee who  visited  him,  and  removed  to  Athens  in  1819. 

The  reputation  of  Dr.  Waddell,  which  had  preceded  him, 
added  to  his  energy  and  high  character,  soon  raised  the  en- 
rollment of  students  from  seven  to  more  than  one  hundred. 

His  discipline  was  firm  without  severity  and  only  those 
who  trifled  with  him  felt  how  severe  he  could  be.  No  stu- 
dent ever  tried  it  twice,  and  one  having  come  out  from  such 
an  interview  with  him,  said  to  a  companion:  "When  you 
hear  a  boy  bragging  how  he  bullied  Dr.  Waddell,  you  may 
know  he  is  lying,  for  it  can't  be  done." 

But  with  all  his  firmness,  Dr.  Waddell  had  the  tact  to  know 
when  not  to  punish.    One  night  he  caught,  as  he  believed,  Ned 

B playing  cards.     The  next  morning,  overtaking  him   on 

the  campus,  the  doctor  said:  "Edward,  I  think  I  saw  you 
playing  cards  last  night."  "I  reckon  not,  sir,"  said  the 
culprit.  "Yes,  I  am  sure  it  was  you,"  replied  the  doctor. 
"It  couldn't  have  been  me,"  answered  Ned,  "because  I  don't 
know  the  ace  of  jacks  from  the  nine  of  deuces."  Dr.  Waddell 
smiled,  but  did  not  press  the  matter  any  further. 


36  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

With  Dr.  Waddell's  accession,  Professor  Camak  retired 
from  the  faculty,  and  Dr.  Alonzo  Church,  then  teaching  in 
Eatonton,  Ga.,  was  elected  to  the  chair  of  mathematics. 

Mr.  Camak  was  a  native  of  South  Carolina.  He  was  a 
professor  in  this  University  when  Dr.  Finley  came  to  Geor- 
gia, and  after  his  resignation,  was  married  to  Miss  Helen 
Finley,  a  daughter  of  the  late  president.  Removing  to  Mil- 
Wlgeville,  Mr.  Camak  engaged  in  business  and  was  made 
cashier  of  the  Central  Bank.  He  acquired  a  fine  property 
there  and  afterwards  moved  back  to  Athens  where  he  dur- 
ing his  lifetime,  and  his  family  long  afterwards,  were  among 
the  most  prominent  citizens  of  the  place. 

Upon  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Henry  Jackson  in  1820,  Dr. 
James  Tinsley  was  appointed  professor  of  natural  philoso- 
phy. Dr.  Tinsley  had  been  a  pupil  of  Dr.  Waddell  at  Willing- 
ton.  He  studied  medicine  and  was  admitted  to  practice,  but 
being  very  erratic,  he  defied  both  the  conventional  rules  of 
society  and  the  ethics  of  practice.  He  was  a  man  of  re- 
markable physical  strength,  though  his  weight  never  ex- 
ceeded one  hundred  and  sixty  pounds.  Dr.  Tinsley  was  sub- 
ject to  violent  and  alarming  hemorrhages  from  the  lungs, 
and  on  account  of  this  one  weakness  he  exposed  himself  to 
the  most  inclement  weather  without  overcoat  or  umbrella, 
with  the  collar  and  bosom  of  his  shirt  open  and  often  with- 
out a  hat,  in  order  to  "harden"  himself.  He  never  kept  any 
medicines,  depending  upon  what  he  might  find  in  the  house 
of  his  patient,  and  his  surgical  operations  were  performed 
with  whatever  was  convenient  at  hand. 

Dr.  Tinsley  had  no  fitness  either  by  nature  or  education  for 
the  position  to  which  he  was  elected,  but  his  friends  thought 
that  the  power  of  his  intellect  would  overcome  his  want  of 
training  and  enable  him  to  sustain  himself.  Their  mistake 
was  soon  apparent,  and  aftertwo  yearsof  irksome  restraint, 
he  resigned. 

The  problem  of  the  disposition  of  the  students  had  long- 
exercised  the  faculty  and  trustees.  At  first  they  boarded 
anywhere  in  the  neighborhood  ofthe  college ;  then  they  were 
required  to  room  in  the  Old  College.  Later,  by  an  act  of  the 
Legislature,  they  were  permitted  to    "board    at    any  place 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  37 

within  the  town  or  vicinity  of  Athens,  provided,  they  board 
with  moral,  respectable  families,  of  which  the  president-  of 
the  college  shall  judge."  Then  Commons  were  provided,  a 
steward's  hall  established  and  maintained  for  a  dozen  or 
more  years.  B}r  resolution  of  the  trustees  in  1820,  the  quality 
of  board  required  was:  "For  breakfast,  a  sufficiency  of  whole- 
some cold  meat  with  wheaten  flour  biscuit  or  loaf  bread, 
butter,  tea  or  coffee.  For  dinner,  a  course  of  bacon  or  salted 
beef,  with  a  suitable  proportion  of  corn  bread  and  at  least 
two  kinds  of  vegetables,  and  on  Wednesday,  to  have  an  after 
course  of  pies,  puddings  or  pancakes.  For  each  supper,  a 
plentiful  supply  of  tea  or  milk,  with  a  sufficiency  of  wheaten 
flour  biscuit  and  butter."  Truly  a  substantial  bill  of  fare 
and  not  open  to  the  charge  of  extravagance. 

The  board  also  declared  that  "students  on  Sabbath  after- 
noons must  confine  their  wralks  to  one  mile,  provided,  this 
healthful  and  innocent  indulgence  is  executed  free  from  any 
violation  of  the  laws  of  the  college." 

In  1822,  a  contract  was  let  for  the  building  of  "New  Col- 
ege"  at  $24,980  to  John  R.  Goulding,  quondam  professor, 
and  Thomas  Moore.  The  Philosophical  Hall  had  been  com- 
pleted a  year  before  and  was  used  for  the  college  chapel.  In 
the  second  story,  the  library  was  arranged,  aud  there  the 
trustees  held  their  meetings.  There  is  a  resolution  extant, 
passed  about  this  time,  requesting  the  president  to  procure 
some  more  comfortable  seats  for  the  use  of  the*  board,  which 
suggests  visions  of  old  split-bottom  chairs  and  hard  wooden 
benches  on  which  were  seated  those  grave  and  reverend  seign- 
iors. 

After  the  completion  of  New  College  in  1823,  the  li- 
brary and  apparatus  were  transferred  to  that  building.

While  we  are  upon  the  subject  of  buildings,  it  may  be  said 
that  the  Demosthenian  Society,  which  was  organized  inl803> 
and  had  for  twenty  years  been  holding  its  meetings  in  the  old 
school-room,  now  being  in  a  nourishing  condition,  both  as 
to  members  and  funds,  built  the  hall  north  of  the  chapel 
which  for  seventy  years  has  echoed  the  clarion  tones  of  im- 
passioned speakers.  A  new  stimulus  was  given  this  old 
mother  of  debaters  by  the  organization  of  a  rival,  the  Phi 
Kappa  Society,  by  Joseph  Henry  Lumpkin  in  1825.  For 
many  3'ears  these  two  vied  with  each  other  for  the  honors 
of  the  college,  and  swore  their  members  with  great  and  in- 
violable oaths  to  secrets  which  might  not  even  be  thought 
of  in  the  presence  of  another.

In  1824,  the  Old  College  walls  gave  indications  of  weakness 
and  were  strengthened  by  the  iron  bars  which  have  no  doubt 
aroused  the  curiosity  of  many  a  student. 

The  campus,  which  seems  to  have  been  open  at  the  time, 
was  ordered  to  be  closed  "with  posts  and  plank  in  front, 
and  common  rails  with  stakes  and  riders  on  the  other  sides." 

Interment  of  corpses  on  the  college  hill,  where  persons  had 
been  in  the  habit  of  interring  them,  was  prohibited  in  future, 
but  the  commissioners  of  the  town  of  Athens  were  permitted 
and  authorized  to  inclose  a  piece  of  ground  not  exceeding  one 
acre  as  a  burial  ground. 

The  place  of  interments  referred  to,  is  now  covered  by  the 
houses  east  of  the  campus,  and  the  "burial  ground"  of  one 
acre  a  little  farther  south,  filled  with  the  dead  of  a  third  of 
a  century,  still  lies  with  its  tall  pines  standing  sentinel  over 
its  graves.

1823. 

Dr.  Waddell's  entire  administration  was  one  of  strength 
and  success.  The  college  grew  in  influence  and  in  public  fa- 
vor. The  trustees  gave  their  cordial  support  to  the  presi- 
dent, who  on  his  part,  seemed  to  haveno  other  desire  than  to 
raise  the  institution  which  had  been  confided  to  his  care,  to 
the  highest  standard  of  morality  and  scholarship.  In  this 
he  succeeded  beyond  the  expectations  of  the  most  sanguine 
From  the  plane  to  which  Dr.  Waddell  raised  it,  the  University 
has  never  receded,  and  when  the  times  and  the  circumstances 
of  the  people  are  considered,  it  was  hardly  possible  for  any 
man  to  have  done  more. 

His  discipline  was  never  relaxed.  To  the  students  he  was; 
kind,  but  always  Arm.  He  commanded  their  respect  and  de- 
manded their  obedience. 

There  were  dissensions  in  the  faculty — as  will  always  be — 
and  there  were  resignations  and  re-elections,  and  complaints 
and  lawlessness  among  the  students ;  but  the  policy  of  the 
president  never  wavered.  The  universal  regret  of  trustees, 
faculty,  students  and  citizens  at  his  resignation  attested 
their  endorsement  of  his  course.  During  Dr.  Waddell's  ten- 
ure of  office,  the  minimum  age  of  admission  of  students  was 
fixed  at  thirteen  for  the  freshman,  fourteen  for  the  sopho- 
more, fifteen  for  the  junior  and  sixteen  for  the  senior  class. 

It  was  said  that  the  president  advocated  administering 
discipline  by  flogging  to  the  freshmen  and  sophomores,  but 
the  board  thought  that  mode  of  punishment  incompatible 
with  the  dignity  of  a  great  university.  In  deference  to  his 
opinions,  however,  the  faculty  were  authorized  to  remand 
refractory  students  to  the  grammar  school,  where  the 
principal,  Mr.  Moses  W.  Dobbins,  a  nephew   and  namesake 


IMYKRSITY   OF  GEORGIA.  1  1 

of  the  president,  wielded  the  birch  with  skill  and  liberality. 
A  student  would  submit  to  anything  short  of  expulsion 
rather  than  be  sentenced  to  the  grammar  school. 

A  law  was  passed  at  one  time  that  "no  student  of  the 
grammar  school  should  engage  in  any  dramatic  perform- 
ance in  the  town  of  Athens,  either  in  term  time  or  vacation." 
vVc  do  not  know  whether  the  board  disapproved  of  theat- 
ricals on  moral  and  religious  grounds,  or  whether  the  histri- 
onic talent  of  the  youths  was  at  so  low  an  ebb  as  to  dis- 
courage any  hope  of  improvement.  Under  the  laws  of  that 
day,  students  were  subject  to  militia  duty.  They  organized 
a  company  among  themselves  and  made  a  great  frolic  of  the 
whole  aifair.  "Muster  day"  proved  at  last  so  disastrous 
to  study  and  good  order,  that  the  governor  was  appealed  to 
to  withdraw  the  arms  which  had  been  furnished  them. 

The  faculty  being  required  to  be  at  their  recitation  rooms 
during  study  hours  attending  to  the  behavior  of  the  stu- 
dents, Dr.  Henry  Jackson,  who  had  succeeded  Dr.  Tinsley 
in  his  old  chair,  resigned  a  second  time  because  he  was 
unwilling  to  do  police  duty  on  the  campus. 

Gamaliel  S.  Olds,  of  Massachusetts,  was  elected  in  his 
place,  who,  in  the  brief  space  of  one  year,  proved  his  utter 
unfitness  for  the  position.  Upon  his  retirement,  Dr.  Jack- 
son was  recalled  and  served  until  his  final  resignation  in 
1827. 

Dr.  Henry  Jackson,  a  native  of  England,  came  to  Georgia 
a  youth,  not  long  before  the  close  of  the  last  century,  at  the 
invitation  of  his  brother,  James  Jackson,  once  governor  of 
Georgia.  Elected  to  a  professorship  in  the  University  in 
1811,  he  proved  to  be  a  valuable  acquisition  to  the  faculty, 
a  scholar  of  great  scientific  attainments  and  a  gentleman  of 
many  fine  traits  of  character.  When  the  Hon.  William  H. 
Crawford  went  as  minister  to  the  court  of  France,  Dr.  Jack- 
son was  invited  to  go  with  him  as  secretary  of  legation. 
Obtaining  leave  of  absence  from  the  trustees,  he  went  to 
Fiance  and  was  in  Paris  during  the  "hundred  days  reign" 
after  Napoleon's  return  from  Elba. 

While  passing  through  Washington  on  his  way  abroad,  he 
met  a  lady  to  whom  he  was  singularly   attracted,  but  the 


42  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

fact  of  her  husband  being  very  much  alive  was  an  insuper- 
able objection  to  his  making  it  known  to  her.  On  his  return 
from  Europe,  he  heard  that  she  was  a  widow  and  so  soon 
as  propriety  permitted,  he  paid  her  his  addresses  and  was 
married  to  her.  The  lady  was  the  widow  of  Howell  Cobb, 
a  member  of  congress  from  Georgia  and  uncle  to  Governor 
Howell  Cobb. 

Dr.  Jackson  was  a  conscientious  teacher  and  was  much  ad- 
mired by  the  students  who  were  under  his  instruction.  He 
passed  his  latter  days  at  "Halscot,"  his  home  near  Athens, 
where  he  was  wont  to  receive  and  entertain  his  friends 
both  young  and  old.  His  son,  General  Henry  R.  Jackson,  is 
a  distinguished   citizen  of  this  State. 

Rev.  Stephen  Olin  was  a  native  of  Vermont,  and  a  class- 
mate of  Professor  Alonzo  Church,  and  through  his  efforts 
was  invited  to  take  the  chair  of  belles-lettres  and  ethics, 
then  newly  established. 

Dr.  Olin  had  taught  for  several  years  in  South  Carolina 
and  lived  for  a  time  in  Charleston.  He  was  a  man  of  im- 
mense frame,  tall  and  muscular,  with  large  grey  eyes  and  a 
magnificent  head.  He  was  unsurpassed  as  a  teacher  and  ex- 
erted great  influence  over  the  students.  One  of  the  students 
once  asked  another  why  he  always  recited  well  to  Dr.  Olin 
while  he  neglected  his  other  studies  so  shamefully.  "Well,' 
said  he,  "I  can't  stand  the  look  of  those  eyes  when  I  miss." 

As  a  preacher  he  was  gifted  in  a  remarkable  degree,  elo- 
quent in  delivery  and  great  in  thought.  When  he  delivered 
his  first  sermon  in  Athens,  Dr.  Church  asked  Dr.  Waddell 
what  he  thought  of  him.  "While  he  was  speaking,"  said  he, 
'•I  thought  anybody  could  preach  as  well;  but  after  he  had 
finished,  I  thought  no  one  could  preach  so  well." 

Dr.  Olin's  health  failed  and  he  was  forced  to  resign.  He 
was  recalled  three  years  later,  but  again  resigned,  having 
served  four  years  as  professor  here.  Subsequently  he  trav- 
eled extensively  abroad,  was  elected  president  of  Randolph 
Macon  College  in  Virginia,  and  afterwards  president  of  Wes- 
leyan  University,  Connecticut,  where  he  remained  until  his 
death.

1824-1829. 

Another  well  known  member  of  the  faculty  under  Dr. 
YVaddell,  was  Professor  James  Jackson,electedinl823to  the 
chair  of  chemistry  and  French.  He  was  a  son  of  Governor 
James  Jackson  and  a  member  of  the  first  graduating  class 
of  the  University.  He  was  generally  known  as  "Major" 
Jackson  and  among  the  students  as  "Old  Take  and  Take" 
from  an  expression  that  he  used  in  the  class-room  until  it 
became  fixed  upon  him. 

He  was  a  most  amiable  man  and  the  boys  teased  him  with 
impunit\\  On  one  occasion  a  student  who  had  some  talent 
as  a  draughtsman,  drew  on  the  wall  outside  his  recitation 
room,  a  monkey  with  the  features  of  Major  Jackson.  Xat- 
uralh',  he  was  very  much  irritated  when  he  saw  it  and  at 
once  recognized  the  artist  by  his  skill  in  drawing.  The  offen- 
der was  reported  to  the  faculty  and  summoned  to  appear 
and  make  his  defence.  The  accused,  on  hearing  the  charge, 
frankfy  admitted  that  he  drew  the  monkey,  but  denied  that 
he  intended  it  for  the  professor.  "You  lie,  sir!"  said  the 
infuriated  major.  "You  did  intend  it  for  me,  for  it  isexacth- 
like  me."  The  absurdity  of  the  situation  was  too  much  for 
the  faculty,  and  the  culprit  was  dismissed  with  the  verdict 
not  proven. 

Major  Jackson  was  a  favorite  with  the  students  and  dere- 
lict boys  looked  upon  him  as  their  best  advocate  before  the 
faculty.  A  kind-hearted  man,  a  thorough  gentleman  and  an 
earnest  Christian,  his  tenure  of  office  extended  over  twenty- 
seven  years,  a  longer  period  than  any  officer  of  the  college 
had  ever  held  his  chair. 

In  1827,  the  tariff  was  the  all-absorbing  political  question 
of  the  day.     In  the  board,  Major  Merri  wether  put  himself  on 


44  HISTORICAL   SKETCH 

record  by  a  proposition  to  adopt  a  uniform  of  domestic 
homespun  for  the  students.  The  students,  full  of  patriotic 
zeal,  held  a  mass  meeting  and  resolved  to  wear  only  home- 
made goods.  The  trustees  met  them  more  than  half  way  in 
adopting  as  the  prescribed  uniform  for  students,  "a  frock- 
coat  made  of  dark  grey  (Georgia  homespun,  wool  and  cot- 
ton, the  seams  covered  wTith  black  silk  cord  or  narrow 
braid,  black  buttons  and  pantaloons  of  same  material, 
corded  or  braided  in  the  same  manner."  An  exception  was 
made  in  favor  of  calico,  for  the  reason  that  "morning 
gowns"  of  calico  were  quite  fashionable,  both  students  and 
professors  wearing  them  on  the  streets.  This  garment — 
which  must  have  been  a  marvel  to  behold — consisted  of  two 
widths  of  calico  gathered  at  the  neck  with  a  string,  buttoned 
at  the  waist  and  reaching  to  the  ankles,  having  loose,  flow- 
ing sleeves.  The  figure  and  color  was  left  to  the  taste  of  the 
wearer,  and  there  was  as  great  a  variety  as  can  be  seen  at  a 
county  fair.  Fancy  the  Chancellor  of  the  University  or  the 
dignified  Dean  of  the  Faculty  sailing  down  the  street  in  a 
flowered  calico  morning  gown  ! 

With  the  reality  of  wearing  the  homespun,  came  a  cooling 
of  patriotic  fervor  and  a  petition  went  up  from  the  boys 
to  repeal  the  law,  which,  it  seems,  was  cheerfully  done  . 

The  Presbyterian  congregation  which  Dr.  Waddell  had  or- 
ganized, by  permission  of  the  board,  built  a  house  of  wor- 
ship on  the  campus,  where  the  library  building  now  stands. 
The  door  was  towards  the  chapel  arid  the  high  pulpit  and 
the  galleries  around  the  sides  are  doubtless  still  fresh  in  the 
memories  of  old  students. 

Dr.  Waddell  ministered  to  this  church  until  he  left  Athens- 
The  Baptists  also  built  a  church  on  the  northwest  corner  of 
the  campus  a  few  years  later,  in  which  Mr.  Shannon  preached, 
and  afterwards,  Dr.  Brantly.  Both  these  churches  stood 
until  about  1857,  when  the  first  was  torn  down  and 
the  other  burned  by  an  incendiary. 

Some  of  the  most  distinguished  men  of  the  country  passed 
out  of  the  University  as  pupils  of  Dr.  Waddell.  Eugen- 
ius  A.  Nisbet,  George  F.  Pierce,  John  A.  Campbell,  Paul  F. 
Eve,  Nathaniel   M.    Crawford,   Robert    Toombs,    John    N. 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  1") 

Waddell,  Charles  J.  Jenkins  and  many  others  of  lesser  note, 
but  of  wide  reputation  in  their  own  States,  received  the  im- 
press of  his  character  while  under  his  instruction  at    Athens. 

A  story  of  Robert  Toombs  has  swung  round  the  circle  of 
the  papers  of  late  years,  which  represents  him  expelled  from 
college  for  gambling,  standing  beneath  the  old  oak  in  front 
of  the  chapel  at  commencement,  pouring  forth  such  burning 
words  of  eloquence  that  the  chapel  is  deserted  and  the 
speakers  left  to  declaim  to  empty  benches.  And  from  this 
circumstance,  the  old  tree  has  ever  since  been  known  as  the 
"Toombs  Oak."  It  has  even  been  said  that  on  the  day  of 
Air.  Toombs'  death,  the  old  oak  was  struck  by  lightning  and 
destroyed. 

There  is  not  the  semblance  of  truth  in  the  story.  It  was  a 
fabrication  of  Henry  W.  Grady,  who,  in  an  admiring  sketch 
of  the  great  Georgian,  wrote  charmingly  of  his  overwhelm- 
ing eloquence  and  pointed  it  with  a  story  drawn  from  his 
own  vivid  imagination. 

The  facts  of  Robert  Toombs'  dismissal  from  college  are  of 
interest  because  of  his  own  prominence  in  after  life.  They 
are  taken  from  the  record  and  are  as  follows : 

"R.  Toombs  called  J.  H.  a  shameful  name,  which  he  ac- 
knowledged to  the  faculty,  and  the  said  H.  attacked  him 
and  beat  him  on  Friday  night.  Toombs  went  to  H.'s  room 
with  bowie  knife  and  pistol,  threw  the  knife  at  G.  H.  and 
pointed  the  pistol  at  J.  H.,  which  another  student  wrested 
from  him.  Afterwards  Toombs  attacked  J.  H.  with  a 
knife  and  hatchet,  but  students  interfered,  preventing  in- 
jury. Saturday  morning,  Toombs  waylaid  the  H's.  on  their 
return  to  college,  attacking  J.  H.  with  a  club  and  pistol." 

Upon  his  trial  before  the  faculty,  the  facts  being  stated 
and  not  denied  by  him,  Mr.  Toombs  was  dismissed  from  col- 
lege. At  the  following  meeting  of  the  faculty  a  letter  from 
Toombs  was  read,  acknowledging  the  impropriety  of  hiscon- 
duct.  Accompanying  the  letter  were  petitions  from  the 
Demosthenian  and  Phi  Kappa  societies  asking,  if  not  a  re- 
mission, at  least  a  mitigation  of  the  punishment.  After  due 
consideration,  the  faculty  remitted  entirely  the  sentence,  but 
put  him  on  probation  for  the  remainder  of  the  term.     Subse- 


46  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

quently— at  the  close  of  the  term — Toombs  withdrew   from 
college  and  went  to  Virginia. 

In  1829,  Dr.  Waddell  sent  in  his  resignation  to  thetrustees. 
Efforts  were  made  to  induce  him  to  withdraw  it,  but  his 
determination  was  taken.  Arrangements  were  made  for 
suitable  ceremonies  of  a  public  and  final  leave-taking  at  the 
close  of  the  commencement  exercises,  and  on  the  day  of  his 
departure  from  home,  the  facult}'  and  students  marched  to 
his  house  in  a  body  to  bid  him  farewell. 

Dr.  Waddell  went  from  Athens  to  Willington,  where,  with 
his  son,  James,  he  reorganized  his  old  academy.  His  own 
time  was  chiefly  occupied  in  preaching  in  the  neighborhood. 
In  1836,  he  was  stricken  with  paralysis  from  which  he  never 
recovered.  Lingering  nearly  four  years,  almost  helpless,  he 
died  July  21,  1840,  at  the  home  of  his  son  in  Athens,  to 
which  place  he  had  been  removed.

President  Alonzo  Church — Loss  by  Fireof  New  College — Loan  by  Legis- 
lature—  Ivy  Building — Botanical  Garden — Professor  M.  A.  Ward — 
Professor  William   Lehmann, 

1829-1830. 

Alonzo  Church,  then  professor  of  mathematics,  was  elected 
to  succeed  President  Waddell. 

Dr.  Church  was  a  native  of  Vermont  and  a  graduate  of 
Middlebury  College.  Soon  after  his  graduation  he  went 
to  Eatonton,  Georgia,  to  take  charge  of  the  academy 
at  that  place.  He  there  met  and  married  Miss  Sarah 
Trippe,  a  lad}'  of  superior  accomplishments  and  rare  beauty. 
Coming  to  Athens  in  1819,  as  professor  of  mathematics, 
Dr.  Church  conducted  his  department  with  eminent  suc- 
cess and  so  impressed  the  board  by  his  force  of  character, 
that  upon  the  retirement  of  President  Waddell,  he  was  at 
once  unanimously  chosen  in  his  place. 

In  person,  Dr.  Church  was  tall  and  well-proportioned,  of 
dark  complexion,  with  lustrous  black  eyes  and  hair, graceful 
in  carriage  and  dignified  in  bearing.  He  was  of  a  quick  tem- 
per and  absolutely  fearless,  but  had  great  self-control.  Well 
behaved  students  had  respect  and  affection  for  him,  but 
the  disorderly  feared  and  avoided  him  more  than  any-  other 
member  of  the  faculty.  He  was  a  rigid  disciplinarian,  prompt 
to  correct  and  rebuke  the  slightest  indication  of  disorder  or 
inattention  in  his  class-room ;  and  yet  in  his  kindness  of 
heart,  he  would  help  along  an  ill-prepared  student  almost  to 
the  extent  of  reciting  the  lesson  for  him. 

An  incident  related  by  Dr.  John  N.  Waddell  illustrates  the 
promptness  of  Dr.  Church  to  quell  any  disorder  and  the  fear 
among  the  students  of  his  displeasure. 

"On  the  news  of  the  birth  of  his  son  being  learned 
by  the  students,  a  petition  was  presented  to  the  faculty  for 
holiday  in  compliment  to  the  family  and  as  a  welcome  to  the 
advent  of  the  young  stranger.    Just  before    eleven    o'clock, 


48  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

the  hour  of  morning  recitation,  the  petition  was  returned, 
having  been  granted.  It  so  happened  that  just  then  were 
gathered  in  the  room  above  Dr.  Church's  study,  some  dozen 
of  the  most  orderly  students  preparing  for  the  recitation. 
On  learning  the  decision  of  the  faculty,  the  news  was  re- 
ceived with  most  exuberant  joy  and  boisterous  laughter. 
In  a  few  minutes,  to  their  utter  discomfiture,  Dr.  Church  ap- 
peared, and  on  discovering  who  it  was  that  was  making 
such  a  disturbance,  lifted  his  hands,  exclaiming,  "Why,  gen- 
tlemen, I  am  more  than  astonished!"  The  students  had 
only  time  to  say,  "Doctor,  we  have  holiday,"  when  he  left 
them  abruptly,  and  they  expected  nothing  less  than  a  sum- 
mons before  the  faculty  on  the  charge  of  disorderly  conduct. 
But  when  the  doctor,  on  going  out  to  inquire  the  cause  of 
the  holiday,  learned  that  it  was  on  the  occasion  of  the  birth 
of  his  son,  he  returned  immediately  to  the  students,  ex- 
plained and  apologized.  Thus  Alonzo  W.  Church  was  greeted 
on  his  arrival  with  a  demonstration  not  usual  among  in- 
fants in  Athens." 

It  was  the  custom  in  that  day  to  hold  morning  and  even- 
ing prayers  in  the  chapel.  Dr.  Church  always  lead  the  even- 
ing service,  and  it  was  expected  that  some  other  member  of 
the  faculty  would  conduct  that  of  the  morning.  One  morn- 
ing the  students  were  so  disorderly  that  Professor  Ward 
went  after  the  president.  Seeing  him  walking  across  the 
campus,  the  professor  called  to  him,  "Oh,  doctor,  come  here. 
We  can  do  nothing  with  the  students."  Dr.  Church  walked 
at  once  into  the  chapel  and  looked  around  without  speak- 
ing a  word.  Death -like  silence  ensued.  Taking  up  the  Bi- 
ble, he  read  a  chapter,  offered  a  prayer  and  without  another 
word  dismissed  the  students,  who  quietly  made  their  exit. 
As  an  example  of  the  discipline  President  Church  exercised, 
may  be  mentioned  the  expulsion  of  eleven  students  in  a 
bunch  for  riotous  conduct  on  the  campus  one  night.  One  of 
the  condemned  was  Howell  Cobb,  who  was  reinstated  upon 
the  solemn  declaration  of  his  mother  that  she  had  made  him 
retire  and  had  afterwards  seen  him  asleep  in  bed  on  the 
very  night  of  the  riot.  Others  who  saw  him  on  the  campus, 
without  disputing  Mrs.  Cobb's    statement,    suggested   that 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  49 

he  might  have  dressed  and  slipped  out  of  the  window  after 
his  mother's  visit  to  his  room. 

Dr.  Church's  family  were  remarkable  for  their  personal 
beauty.  He  and  Mrs.  Church  were  a  singularly  handsome 
pair;  his  sons  were  all  handsome  men  and  the  daughters 
were  the  toasts  of  every  student  of  their  time.  Especially 
beautiful  were  Miss  Julia  and  Miss  Lizzie,  afterwards  Mrs. 
Croom  and  Mrs.  Craig,  and  there  no  doubt  lingers  yet  in 
the  memory  of  many  an  old  student  of  the  forties,  delightful 
recollections  of  evenings  passed  in  their  parlors.  To  the 
unremitting  ministrations  of  Mrs.  Craig,  then  Mrs.  Robbe, 
many  a  sick  and  wounded  Confederate  prisoner  during  the 
war,  owed  such  cheer  and  comfort  as  she  was  permitted  to 
extend  them. 

The  chair  of  mathematics  becoming  vacant  by  the  promo- 
tion of  the  incumbent  to  the  presidency,  Mr.  George  W. 
McGehee,  of  Tennessee,  was  appointed  to  the  vacancy,  but 
on  his  way  to  assume  its  duties,  was  taken  violently  ill  and 
died  before  reaching  Athens.  At  their  next  meeting  the  board 
elected  one  of  their  own  number,  Dr.  Henry  Hull,  professor 
of  mathematics. 

James  P.  Waddell,  son  of  the  late  president,  was  elected  pro- 
fessor of  languages,  but  declined,  and  Rev.  James  Shannon, 
of  Augusta,  was  then  appointed  and  held  the  office  until 
1836. 

Dr.  Olin  having  resigned,  Rev.— afterwards  Bishop — William 
Capers,  of  Charleston,  was  nominated,  and  he  having  de- 
clined, the  professorship  of  belles-letters  and  ethics  was  va- 
cant until  1830,  when  Dr.  Olin  re-entered  the  facult}'  for  a 
brief  term  of  three  years. 

In  1830,  the  University  sustained  a  serious  loss  in  the  de- 
struction by  fire  of  the  New  College,  with  the  library,  now  a 
most  valuable  one,  and  all  the  scientific  apparatus. 

It  was  supposed  to  have  caught  in  one  of  the  dormitory 
rooms,  and  there  being  no  means  whatever  in  the  town  for 
extinguishing  fires,  it  was  a  total  loss  excepting  the   walls. 

There  was  nothing  to  be  done  but  appeal  to  the  State 
for  help. 


50  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

The  SenatusAcademicus  sent  up  a  memorial  to  the  Legisla- 
ture setting  forth  the  fact  that  the  forty  thousand  dollars 
of  surplus  bonds  and  mortgages  deposited  in  the  treasury 
in  1816  against  the  issue  of  one  thousand  shares  of  bank 
stock,  had  been  collected  and  covered  into  the  treasurj*  to 
the  credit  of  the  State.  In  behalf  of  the  University  the 
Senatus  asked  that  this  sum  be  turned  over  to  the  trustees 
to  be  used  in  rebuilding  the  college,  in  purchasing  new  ap- 
paratus and  instruments,  in  refurnishing  a  library  and  for 
other  wants  of  the  institution.  In  response  to  this  request 
the  General  Assembly  appropriated  six  thousand  dollars  an- 
nually from  1830  to  1841,  and  in  addition  thereto  for  im- 
mediate use,  loaned  to  the  University  ten  thousand  dollars* 
which  was  afterwards  repaid  in  annual  payments  of  one 
thousand  dollars.  With  these  funds  the  burned  building 
was  rebuilt  at  the  cost  of  $12,349.  The  present  chapel  was 
erected  on  the  site  of  the  old  40x60  wooden  one  of  1808; 
the  "Ivy  Building"  was  built  for  a  new  library  and  cabinet 
of  minerals;  two  new  chairs  were  established — natural 
philosophy  and  modern  languages— and  a  botanical  garden 
was  planned  and  planted  under  the  care  of  John  Bishop, 
gardener  from  England. 

Dr.  Malthus  A.  Ward  of  Salem,  Mass.,  and  Professor  Wil- 
liam Lehmann,  a  native  of  Germany,  and  a  minister  of  the 
Lutheran  church,  were  elected  to  the  new  departments. 

Dr.  Ward  was  a  gentleman  of  fine  education  and  an  en- 
thusiastic botanist.  He  laid  out  and  planted  the  botanical 
garden,  which  became  his  especial  hobby.  Many  an  hour  in 
that  delightful  resort  of  former  days  have  students  and 
townsmen  whiled  away,  enjoying  the  dolce  far  niente  under 
the  willows  from  St.  Helena,  or  stretched  beside  the  little 
lake,  or  strolling  along  the  shaded  walks.  That  charming  re- 
treat, hallowed  by  many  a  whispered  confession  and  bright- 
ened by  many  a  blushing  admission,  fragrant  with  flowers, 
tinted  with  the  sunset's  gold,  and  musical  with  the  thrush 
and  mocking  bird,  is  now,  alas!  the  washing-ground  of  the 
loud-mouthed  colored  laundress;  and  a  few  old  cedars,  a 
broken  hedge  of  osage  orange,  a  poplar,  and  mayhap,  a  wil- 
low, are  the  sole  relics  of  its   ancient  beauty. 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  51 

No  one  who  ever  saw  Dr.  Ward  could  forget  him.  Tall, 
thin  and  awkward,  every  handsome  feature  conspicuous  by 
its  absence,  his  appearance  hardly  failed  to  excite  a  smile ; 
but  a  gentler,  kindlier  man  never  lived.  In  a  recitation  in 
botany,  the  professor  asked  a  student  how  many  species 
of  a  certain  plant  there  were.  The  young  man  replied  at  a 
venture,  "Three,  sir."  "Yes,  yes,"  said  the  doctor,  "but 
there  were  formerly  only  two,  and  the  same  now  is."  The 
quaintness  of  his  expressions  seemed  to  impress  his  lectures 
on  the  students.  He  once  said,  "Words,  young  gentlemen, 
are  only  pegs  on  which  to  hang  our  ideas."  This  struck 
the  boys'  fancy  and  ever  afterwards  the  old  professor  was 
known  as  "Dr.  Pegs." 

After  his  connection  with  the  college  ceased,  Dr.  Ward 
lived  for  many  years  and  until  his  death,  at  his  home  on  the 
hill  beyond  the  branch,  amid  the  flowers  and  fruits  and 
many  varieties  of  ornamental  trees  he  had  planted  3'ears 
before. 

William  Lehmann,  a  German  by  birth,  was  a  man  of  fine 
attainments.  He  was  a  good  English  scholar,  a  thoroughly 
competent  linguist  and  an  enthusiast  in  the  ancient  classics. 
It  was  a  saying  of  the  boj^s  that  when  Professor  Lehmann 
should  reach  the  spirit  world,  the  first  question  he  would 
ask,  would  be,  "Where  is  Homer?    I  want  to  see  him !" 

Mr.  Lehmann  was  an  excellent  musician  and  a  fine  pian- 
ist. On  one  occasion  while  visiting  the  dormitory  rooms,  he 
came  upon  a  student  playing  the  violin  in  study  hours.  At 
his  citation,  the  delinquent  appeared  before  the  faculty  and 
plead  guilty.  Some  one  proposed  to  fine  the  boy  as  a  pen- 
alty, when  Mr.  Lehmann  seconded  the  motion,  saying,  "Yes, 
Mr.  President,  fine  him  ;  he  do  play  so  bad."  Tall,  of  stal- 
wart frame,  and  quite  bald,  Mr.  Lehmann  was  an  imposing 
man  in  appearance,  but  far  too  lenient  with  the  students, 
who  took  advantage  of  his  good  nature  and  imposed  upon 
him  continually. 

Both  these  gentlemen  served  the  University  faithfully 
until  1841,  when  the  state  of  its  finances  demanded  their 
retirement.

1830-1840. 

Duringthe  intense  political  excitement  between  the  Clarke 
and  Troup  parties,  which  perhaps  was  not  surpassed  by  the 
antagonism  of  the  Democrats  to  the  Republicans  in  the  hot- 
test days  of  reconstruction,  serious  complaints  were  made 
by  the  Clarke  party  of  the  vicious  influence  of  the  University. 
It  was  charged  that  the  trustees  were  all  Troup  men  and 
that  only  Troup  men  were  put  in  the  faculty,  and  worse 
than  all,  that  their  boys  went  to  college  and  came  home  im- 
bued with  the  damnable  heresies  of  the  Troup  party,  and 
forsaking  the  principles  of  their  fathers,  deserted  to  the 
ranks  of  the  enemy. 

This  was  too  grave  a  charge  to  be  ignored.  Consequently, 
in  1830,  the  Legislature  enacted  a  law  increasing  the  num- 
ber of  trustees  to  twenty-eight,  giving  an  equal  representa- 
tion on  the  board  to  the  two  political  factions. 

The  new  trustees  appointed  under  this  act  were  Howell 
Cobb,  Daniel  Hood,  Angus  McD.  King,  Wilson  Lumpkin, 
Thomas  W.  Murray,  David  A.  Reese,  James  Tinsley,  Stevens 
Thomas,  James  C.  Watson,  Zachariah  Williams,  and  Jacob 
Wood. 

In  that  day,  far  more  than  now,  the  young  men  of  Georgia 
were  deeply  interested  in  the  great  questions  which  agitated 
the  country.  It  was  no  uncommon  thing  for  a  party  of 
students  to  leave  college  to  go  to  Watkinsville  or  Lexington, 
or  some  other  neighboring  town  to  hear  Mr.  Crawford  or 
Mr.  Berrien,  or  Mr.  Toombs  or  Mr.  Stephens  speak  on  the 
issues  before  the  people,  and  on  their  return  take  their  pun- 
ishment as  became  men. 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  53 

Fired  with  the  enthusiasm  of  youth,  some  did  not  hesitate- 
to  attack  the  opposite  party  in  their  college  speeches.  At 
the  first  meeting  of  the  board  after  its  increase,  a  resolution 
was  passed  requiring  the  faculty  to  exclude  from  the 
productions  of  the  students  at  commencement,  all  political 
matter  involving  the  party  politics  of  the  day.  This, 
however,  was  a  ghost  that  would  not  down  at  their 
bidding;  for,  from  time  to  time,  resolutions  were  adopted 
reiterating  the  opinion  of  the  board  that  political  speeches 
should  not  be  permitted  on  the  stage  of  the  Univer- 
sity. Doubtless  it  was  a  proper  inhibition  and  the  party 
attacked  keenly  felt  its  necessity  ;  but,  the  other  side  secretly 
enjoyed  the  situation  none  the  less.  Indeed,  it  was  due  to 
this  fact  that  the  students  dared  to  hand  in  one  speech  to 
the  faculty  and  speak  another  on  the  stage,  feeling  sure  of 
the  support  of  his  own  side  if  the  worst  came. 

At  the  request  of  the  trustees  in  1830,  the  Senatus  Aca- 
demicus  appointed  annually  fifteen  persons  as  a  Board  of 
Visitors  to  attend  the  examinations  of  the  students  preceding 
commencement  and  report  to  that  body.  The  appointment 
of  this  board  after  the  abolition  of  the  Senatus  Academicus 
was  delegated  to  the  Governor,  and  their  powers  were  en- 
larged. 

It  may  be  gravely  doubted,  however,  if  any  practical  good 
has  ever  resulted  from  their  visitations.  This  is  not  necessa- 
rily the  fault  of  the  gentlemen  composing  the  board  of  visi- 
tors. From  the  very  nature  of  things,  a  committee  of 
strangers  cannot  enter  upon  the  premises  of  a  college,  take 
up  its  curriculum,  inspect  its  class  work,  read  its  examina- 
tion papers  and  investigate  its  internal  workings,  and  learn 
enough  about  the  institution  in  a  week's  time  to  report,  with 
suggestions  of  any  value,  upon  its  faults  or  its  necessities. 
Yet,  year  after  year,  the  State  pays  the  expenses  of  gentle- 
men who  faithfully,  it  is  conceded,  perform  this  duty  and 
render  their  report  to  the  Governor,  which  is  acknowledged 
and  duly  filed  away  with  other  State  papers. 

Upon  the  second  resignation  of  Dr.  Olin,  Rev.  Samuel 
Pressley  was  elected  professor  of  metaphysics. 


54  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

In  1836,  Professor  Shannon  resigned.  He  was  a  man  of 
great  independence  of  thought.  He  declined  the  honorary 
degree  of  D.  D.,  conferred  upon  him  by  the  University,  be- 
cause he  said  a  literary  institution  had  no  right  to  judge  of 
the  theological  standing  of  a  minister  of  the  gospel — a  thing 
of  which  it  could  know  nothing.  Mrs.  Shannon  was  Meth- 
odist ;  he  a  Baptist.  When  it  was  suggested  that  Mrs.  Shan- 
non should  join  his  church  to  be  with  him,  he  said  he  would 
vote  against  receiving  her  unless  she  sincerely  believed  in  the 
doctrines  of  his  church,  and  he  didn't  think  she  did. 

After  Mr.  Shannon's  resignation,  he  was  elected  president 
of  a  college  in  Missouri,  and  removed  to  that  State  where 
he  spent  the  remainder  of  his  life. 

Mr.  Shannon  was  succeeded  by  Mr.  James  P.  Waddell. 
Professor  Waddell,  known  among  the  boys  as  "Old  Pute," 
was  a  ripe  classical  scholar  and  a  poet  of  merit.  He  had , 
after  his  graduation,  served  as  tutor  in  the  University  for 
two  years,  and  marrying  a  daughter  of  Rev.  Hope  Hull, 
went  to  Willington  to  reopen  the  academy  there  with  his 
father. 

Professor  Waddell  had  been  elected  to  the  chair  of  ancient 
languages  in  1830.  At  that  time  no  little  excitement  pre- 
vailed throughout  the  State  among  the  various  Christian  de- 
nominations on  the  subject  of  education,  and  some  jealousy 
of  the  University  was  developed.  It  was  charged  that  a 
monopoly  of  offices  in  the  faculty  was  enjoyed  b}r  one  de- 
nomination. The  administration  of  the  affairs  of  the  Uni- 
versity had,  in  fact,  been'in  the  hands  of  Presbyterian  presi- 
dents from  its  foundation.  With  perhaps  one  exception, 
the  most  important  chairs  had  been  filled  by  Presbyterians. 
It  is  absurd  to  suppose  that  this  was  due  to  any  partiality 
for  that  denomination  in  a  board  of  trustees,  the  majority 
of  whom  were  not  Presbyterians.  But  conceding  the  largest 
degree  of  wisdom  and  patriotism  to  the  board,  the  fact 
as  it  existed,  gave  great  dissatisfaction.  When,  therefore, 
Mr.  Waddell's  election  added  another  Presbyterian  to  the 
faculty,  there  was  a  general  expression  of  that  dissatisfac- 
tion in  the  journals  of  the  State.  The  excitement  grew  in  in- 
tensity until  the  Senatus  Academicus,   who,  under    the  law* 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  55 

reviewed  the  action  of  the  trustees,  superseded  Professor 
Waddell,  who  had  not  yet  assumed  the  duties  of  the  chair, 
by  the  appointment  of  Rev.  James  Shannon,  pastor  of  the 
Baptist  church  in  Augusta. 

Professor  Waddell  was  an  excellent  teacher,  barring  his 
inability  to  control  the  students  under  him,  who,  neverthe- 
less, had  great  respect  both  for  his  character  and  his  schol- 
arly attainments.  He  was  an  enthusiast  on  the  subject  of 
the  classics,  and  when  he,  with  rapt  expression,  would  repeat 
some  favorite  passage  from  a  tragedy  of  Euripides  or  de- 
claim, ore  rotundo,  some  oration  of  Cicero,  he  seemed  lifted 
above  the  plane  of  mundane  things.  It  was  then  that  some 
wicked  boy,  having  neither  the  fear  of  the  faculty  be- 
fore his  eyes,  nor  the  love  of  the  classics  in  his  heart,  would 
shy  a  missile  at  the  professor  and  bring  him  back  to  a  con- 
sciousness of  his  surroundings. 

Professor  Waddell  served  acceptably  for  twenty  years,  re- 
moving after  his  retirement  from  the  University-,  to  Mont- 
gomer\\  There  he  taught  successfully  a  boys'  school  and 
afterwards  was  appointed  private  secretary  to  Governor 
John   Gill  Shorter.     He  died  at  Athens  in    1867. 

At  the  time  of  which  we  are  writing,  1835,  the  library  re- 
ceived some  valuable  aquisitions  besides  the  purchase  under 
appropriations  by  the  board,  in  ninety  volumes  of  public 
acts  donated  by  the  British  government,  and  in  files  of 
newspapers  of  the  State  given  by  the  Governor.  In  addi- 
tion to  these,  acknowledgment  was  made  of  "specimens 
of  rare  minerals  from  the  awful  crater  of  Mona  Loa  in 
Owyhee.'' 

In  1840,  there  was  committed  one  of  those  senseless  out- 
rages that  students  are  sometimes  lead  into  without  consid- 
ering its  criminalit}-  or  its  possible  results.  Mr.  Charles.  F 
McCay  was  at  the  time  professor  of  civil  engineering.  He 
was  not  popular  with  the  students  and,  during  his  absence 
one  night,  his  room  was  forcibly  entered,  his  books,  bedding 
and  clothing  taken  out  and  burned  back  of  New  College. 
There  were  numerous  witnesses  to  the  burning,  but  there 
was  some  difficulty  in  finding  out  who  were  the  guilty  par- 
ties.    The  students  arraigned  before  the  faculty  all  admitted 


56  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

being  there,  but  declared  they  were  trying  to  put  out  the 
fire  and  save  the  clothes.  Mr.  McCay  strongly  suspected 
several  boys,  one  of  them  young  Mr.  Dearing,  who,  it 
was  afterwards  shown  was  innocent,  and  accused 
them  before  the  faculty.  This  accusation  lead  to  a  difficulty 
and  a  challenge  from  Dr.  William  E.  Dearing,  an  older 
brother  of  the  accused.  Mr.  McCay  promptly  accepted  the 
challenge  and  a  meeting  was  arranged  to  take  place  at  the 
old  cemetery  just  back  of  the  campus.  An  amicable  settle- 
ment was  made  before  shots  were  exchanged,  but  Professor 
McCay  at  once  sent  in  his  resignation  to  the  Prudential 
Committee.  He  was  requested  to  continue  in  his  chair  until 
the  meeting  of  the  board.  The  matter  having  been  brought 
up,  a  long,  spirited  discussion  ensued,  which  resulted  in  the 
Professor  being  permitted,  by  a  close  vote,  to  withdraw  his 
resignation. 

Mr.  McCay  was  a  fine  scholar  and  an  exacting  teacher. 
He  was  sure  to  find  out  all  the  student  didn't  know  about 
the  lesson.  He  seemed  to  take  genuine  delight  in  "busting" 
a  boy  and  showed  no  sympathy  for  him  when  he  was  down. 
Withal  he  was  a  conscientious  professor,  a  strict  disciplina- 
rian and  a  fearless  police  officer.  Naturally,  he  was  unpopu- 
lar with  the  students,  and  many  were  the  attacks  upon  his 
door  and  the  rocks  that  went  through  his  windows  on  dark 
nights,  when  he  roomed  in  New  College.  On  several  occasions 
he  was  violently  assaulted  and  beaten  by  riotous    students. 

One  night  a  student  provided  himself  with  a  "locust" 
made  of  a  match-box  with  parchment  stretched  over  the  end, 
through  which  a  horse  hair  was  passed.  This  interesting 
toy,  when  twirled  around,  made  a  loud,  rasping  noise  like  the 
insect  from  which  it  took  its  name.  Quietly  climbing  into 
the  trap  hole  in  the  passage  by  Mr.  McCay's  door,  he  made 
his  locust  sing.  As  he  expected,  Mr.  McCay  at  once  came 
out  into  the  passage,  looked  up  and  down,  but  seeing  no  one 
went  back.  The  locust  began  singing  again  and  immedi- 
ately the  professor  emerged.  Simultaneously  the  noise 
ceased.  Baffled  again,  Mr.  McCay  returned  and  stood  be- 
hind his  door.  At  the  repetition  of  the  noise,  he  suddenly 
threw   open   the    door,  and  the  noise    as    suddenly    ceased. 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GfEORGIA.  57 

Then  he  pulled  oft'  his  shoes  and  slipped  up  to  the  end  of  the 
hall,  shutting  his  door  rather  noisily  to  deceive  the 
aggressor.  But  as  the  mischievous  boy  was  locking  at  him 
all  the  time,  the  match-box  was  silent.  Then  the  professor 
went  back  to  his  room  and  the  noise  was  repeated.  Finally, 
he  located  the  disturber  of  his  peace  and  deliberateh' 
brought  his  table,  lamp,  and  chair  and  took  his  seat  outside 
the  door,  determined  to  catch  the  offender  if  it  took  all  night. 
It  did  not  take  so  long  ,  for  the  discomfort  of  his  situation 
and  the  certain  prospect  of  spending  the  night  in  the  attic, 
brought  about  an  unconditional  surrender  of  the  "locust," 
which  was  followed  the  next  day  by  the  usual  summons 
before  the  faculty. 

After  Mr.  McCay  left  the  University,  he  became  professor 
at  Columbia,  and  subsequently,  was  made  president 
of  South  Carolina  College.  Removing  later  to  Augusta, 
Georgia,  he  engaged  in  banking  and  insurance  business  and 
acquired  a  handsome  property. 

After  the  close  of  the  war,  he  went  to  Baltimore,  where 
he  spent  the  remainder  of  his  days.

Professors'  Houses — Dr.  Henry  Hull — Dr.  William  Bacon  Stevens  — 
Changes  in  Faculty — President  Church's  Criticisms  of  New  Profes- 
sors— Dr.  William  T.  Brantly. 

1842-1856. 

In  1842,  the  income  of  the  University  was  seriously  im- 
paired by  the  loss  of  the  annual  appropriation  by  the  State  of 
six  thousand  dollars,  leaving  the  total  available  income  less 
than  twelve  thousand  dollars.  This  reduction  in  its  funds 
made  necessary  a  reduction  in  the  expenses  of  the  College. 
A  reorganization  of  the  Faculty  ensued,  accompanied  by  a 
reduction  of  salaries.  The  services  of  Professors  Ward  and 
Lehmann  and  Tutor  Lee  were  dispensed  with.  Major  Jack- 
son took  the  chairs  of  chemistry  and  natural  history.  Nat- 
ural philosophy  was  assigned  to  Mr.  McCay.  Dr.  Hull 
Mr.  Waddell  and  Dr.  Church  retained  their  respective  depart- 
ments. The  following  year,  however,  the  prospects  bright- 
ening, particularly  in  view  of  a  prospective  sale  of  town  lots, 
a  new  chair  was  established — belles-lettres  and  rhetoric — 
and  Joseph  H.  Lumpkin,  Esq.,  was  requested  to  fill  it. 
Judge  Lumpkin  declining,  Rev.  William  Bacon  Stevens,  of 
Savannah,  was  appointed  and  accepted.  Judge  Lumpkin's 
services  were  secured  to  the  college  in  the  law  school, 
which  was  established  that  year,  but  which  existed  only  in 
name  until  sixteen  years  later,  the  exigencies  of  the  office  of 
Chief  Justice  rendering  any  effective  work  in  the  school  im- 
practicable. 

The  increasing  demand  for  city  lots,  added  to  the  financial 
straits  of  the  College,  seemed  to  justify  the  sale  of  the 
remainder  of  the  Milledge  donation.  Accordingly,  by  direc- 
tion of  the  board,  Dr.  Hull  surveyed  and  platted  the  lands, 
which  were  advertised  to  be  sold,  excepting  the  thirty-seven 
acres  comprising  the  campus,  they  being  by  statute,  inalien- 
able.    The  lots  sold  at  that  time,    including    those    immedi- 


O*

UNIVERSITY   OF   GEORGIA.  59 

ately  around  the  campus  and  westward  across  the  Tan- 
yard  branch,  yielded  eighty-five  hundred  dollars.  It  was 
thought  best  to  reserve  the  lots  in  what  was  known  as 
Cobbham  until  another  time,  and  indeed,  they  were  not 
offered  for  sale  until  1857,  when  twelve  thousand  dollars 
more  was  realized. 

The  funds  arising  from  the  first  sale  enabled  the  Board 
to  erect  two  dwellings  on  the  campus — Professor  Waddell's 
and  that  one  opposite  occupied  by  Dr.  Brantly  and  after- 
wards by  Professor  Rutherford.  The  rent  of  these  houses 
to  professors  was  fixed  at  six  per  cent,  on  $2250,  the 
estimated  cost  of  each. 

In  1846,  Dr.  Henry  Hull  resigned  the  professorship  of 
mathematics  and  Mr.  McCay  was  transferred  to  that  de- 
partment, Dr.  John  LeConte  being  elected  to  supply  the 
chair  of  natural  philosophy. 

Dr.  Hull  had  served  sixteen  years  in  the  chair  which  he  re- 
signed. Born  in  Washington,  Georgia,  he  came  to  Athens 
when  four  yearsof  age.  Graduating  with  the  class  of  1815, 
after  taking  his  degree  of  M.  D.  in  Baltimore,  he  entered 
upon  the  successful  practice  of  medicine  in  Athens.  He  was 
appointed  a  trustee  of  the  University  in  1825.  Having  a 
natural  fondness  for  the  study  of  mathematics,  he  was 
offered  the  professorship  when  it  became  vacant  in  1829, 
and  the  distasteful  drudgery  of  what  was  then  a  country 
practice  encouraged  him  to  accept  it.  Tall  and  graceful  in 
bearing,  courteous  in  manner,  even-tempered  and  generous, 
Dr.  Hull  was  a  general  favorite  with  faculty  and  students, 
and  in  all  their  difficulties,  the  latter  counted  on  his  aid  and 
sympathy.  In  his  class-room,  he  was  accustomed  to  begin 
the  recitation  by  calling  on  the  student  nearest  him.  One 
day  he  unexpectedly  called  on  the  occupant  of  the  other  end 
of  the  bench,  who  said,  " Doctor,  I  did  not  learn  that." 
"And  why  not?"  said  the  professor.  "Because,"  candidly 
replied  the  student,  "I  expected  you  would  begin  at  the  other 
end  of  the  bench."  The  Doctor  smiled  and  advised  him  not 
to  depend  on  that  chance  in  future.  During  his  term  of 
office,  Dr.  Hull  made  the  acquaintance  of  M.  Nicholai,  the 
French  astronomer,  who   visited    at    his    house    and    with 


60  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

whom  he  became  quite  intimate.  They  made  together 
many  observations  and  Dr.  Hull  materially  aided  the  scien- 
tist in  the  objects  of  his  visit  to  Georgia. 

After  his  retirement  from  the  faculty,  Dr.  Hull  spent  the 
remainder  of  his  days  as  a  farmer  and  a  student.  When  the 
old  students  would  return  to  Athens,  they  always  asked  for 
Dr.  Hull,  and  found  him  but  little  changed,  with  the  same 
read}'  smile  and  old-time  courtesy.  He  lived  beyond  the 
time  allotted  to  man,  enjoying  excellent  health,  a  typical 
gentleman  of  the  old  school,  and  after  a  brief  illness,  died 
where  he  had  lived  nearly  all  his  life,  in  the  eighty -third  year 
of  his  age. 

In  1847,  Professor  William  Bacon  Stevens  resigned,  having 
been  called  to  the  parish  of  St.  Andrew's  Church,  Philadel- 
phia, from  which  he  was  afterwards  elected  to  the  high 
office  of  Bishop  of  Pennsylvania. 

Dr.  Stevens  was  of  Northern  birth,  but  came  early  in  life 
to  Savannah,  where  he  lived  perhaps  ten  years.  He  was  at 
first  a  practicing  physician,  but  abandoned  that  profession, 
entered  the  ministry,  and  became  the  rector  of  one  of  the 
Episcopal  churches  in  Savannah.  He  was  one  of  the  found- 
ers of  the  Georgia  Historical  Society  and  was  the  author  of 
a  history  of  Georgia.  Of  literary  tastes,  Dr.  Stevens  was  a 
scholarly  man,  a  graceful  orator,  a  courteous  gentleman 
and  a  person  of  distinguished  appearance.  But  with  all  his 
accomplishments,  there  was  a  haughtiness  of  manner  and  a 
look  of  austerity,  especially  in  the  recitation  room,  that  made 
him  unpopular  with  the  students,  and  their  dislike  culmi- 
nated the  year  he  left  college  in  their  hanging  him  in  effigy 
on  the  old  oak  in  front  of  the  chapel.  And  yet,  Dr.  Stevens 
was  a  just  and  conscientious  teacher.  His  defect  seemed  to 
be  the  utter  lack  of  those  qualities  which  attract  the  young, 
and  while  every  other  professor  in  college  had  a  nickname, 
the  students  only  spoke  of  this  one  as  "Dr.  Stevens."  Singu- 
larly, this  repellant  manner  wore  off  after  he  resigned  his 
professorship,  and  his  old  pupils  who  met  him  in  late  years, 
when  he  was  Bishop  of  Pennsylvania  were  charmed  to  find 
him  then  as  genial  and  affable  as  they  had  previously 
thought  him  cold  and  unapproachable. 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  Bl 

Dr.  Stevens  was  succeeded  by  Dr.  Brantly,  the  pastor  of  the 
Baptist  Church  in  Augusta. 

In  1851,  Dr.  William  Louis  Jones  was  appointed  to  the 
chair  of  chemistry  vice  Professor  James  Jackson,  who,  after 
a  service  of  twenty-seven  years,  had  resigned.  Dr.  Jones 
left  the  following  year  to  take  a  special  course  under  Pro- 
fessor Agassiz  at  Harvard,  and  Dr.  Joseph  LeConte  took 
his  place.  At  the  same  time  Emanuel  Scherb,  Marcellus 
Stanley  and  William  H.  Waddell  were  appointed  tutors.  Mr. 
Scherb  left  the  place  after  a  few  months  without  any  notice. 
Then  Mr.  McCay  retired  and  William  Leroy  Broun  was 
made  professor  of  mathematics,  and  a  year  later  Charles  S. 
Venable  of  Hampden  Sidney  was  called  to  the  chair  vacated 
by  Dr.  John  LeConte. 

These  frequent  changes  in  the  faculty  would  indicate  there 
was  some  disturbance  in  the  college  atmosphere.  Such  in- 
deed was  the  case ;  such  a  disturbance  in  fact  as  gathered 
slowly  into  a  storm,  which  before  very  long  burst  upon  the 
devoted  heads  of  the  entire  corps  of  professors. 

Dr.  Church,  with  his  masterful  character,  had  long  domi- 
nated both  faculty  and  trustees.  He  had  views  on  the 
proper  conduct  of  a  college,  which  amounted  to  convictions. 
The  officer  who  could  not  or  would  not  come  up  to  his  stan- 
dard, or  who  could  not  accept  his  views,  was  in  his  opinion 
not  the  officer  the  college  needed.  Complaints  were  made, 
without  mincing  matters,  of  incompetency  or  of  neglect  of 
duty. 

The  first  gun  was  fired  by  the  President  in  his  annual 
report  to  the  board  in  1855.  Said  he,  "Young  professors 
are  ver\T  apt  to  discover  defects  in  laws  and  rules,  and  in 
their  zeal  and  wisdom,  too  often  legislate  to  the  injury 
rather  than  to  the  advantage  of  the  institution." 

And  in  another  place,  "Dr.  John  L resigned  only  a  few 

days  before  the  commencement  of  our  present  term.  He  had 
given  no  notice  of  his  intention.  The  interests  of  the  insti- 
tution ought  to  be  paramount  to  those  of  an  individual, 
and  no  officer  should  accept  an  office  unless  he  be  willing  to 
comply  with  the  rule  of  the  board  under  which  he  receives 
his  appointment."

'  'Had  Professor  J  oseph  L— consented  as  I  thought  he  should 
to  take  a  half  recitation  in  chemistry,  which  would  have 
given  him  still  only  one  and  a  half  recitations  and  a  half  in 
science,  the  studies  "would  have  been  arranged  in  their  usual 
order.  In  consequence  of  this  refusal,  I  was  obliged  to  take 
a  third  recitation,  the  professor  having  but  one.  The  va- 
cancy should  be  filled  at  once.  Still,  it  had  better  not  be 
filled,  than  to  be  filled  by  an  individual  not  competent  to  dis- 
charge his  duties.  Mere  science  will  not  qualify  a  man  for 
a  professor.  He  may  be  eminent  in  his  attainments  and 
event  felicitous  in  his  ability  to  teach,  and  yet  be  a  curse  to 
the  institution.  There  must  be  moral  and  social  qualifica- 
tions as  well  as  literary  and  scientific.  No  man  who  has  not 
been  long  and  intimately  connected  with  an  institution  of 
this  kind  as  an  instructor  can  estimate  the  influence  for 
good  or  for  ill  which  a  professor  exerts,  apart  from  his 
mere  daily  instructions  in  science.  Every  professor  unless 
willing  to  devote  his  time  and  labor  and  ease,  if  necessary 
to  promote  the  highest  prosperity  of  the  institution,  cannot 
successfully  accomplish  the  purpose  for  which  he  has  been 
placed  in  office.  But  above  all,  I  am  constrained  to  say  that 
an  indispensable  qualification  to  make  the  perfect  teacher 
is  piety.  I  do  not  mean  that  he  should  be  a  mere  professor 
of  religion,  a  member  of  some  Christian  church.  The  man 
whose  life  is  inconsistent  with  his  Christian  profession  leads 
students  to  despise  him  and  to  regard  true  religion  with 
distrust  and  treat  it  with  disrespect."    Wise  old  man  ! 

"I  must  ask  the  board  to  determine  a  question  of  law  be- 
tween myself  and  Professor  L — .  Until  the  commencement  of 
the  present  term,  the  law  respecting  rooms  has  received  but 
one  interpretation  by  any  member  of  the  faculty.  The  Pro- 
fessor now  construes  it  differently  and  refuses  to  comply  with 
what  has  heretofore  been  considered  legitimate  compliance. 
The  law  is  as  follows  :  'The  professors  and  tutors  shall 
each  of  them  daily  visit  the  rooms  of  the  students  at  such 
hours  as  may  be  assigned  them  by  the  President.' " 

On  whom  the  President  was  expending  his  ammunition 
when  he  described  the  ideal  professor  we  do  not  know. 
Certain  it  is   that  description  cannot  be  surpassed.     The 


UNIVERSITY   OF   GEORGIA.  63 

xiistorv  of  the  University  of  Georgia,  her  experience  with  her 
professors,  the  success  of  her  students,  and  the  testimony 
of  the  alumni,  have  proved  the  correctness  of  Dr.  Church's 
estimate.  The  conscientious,  painstaking  professor  with 
strong  religious  convictions,  is  the  one  who  has  won  the  con- 
fidence of  the  student  and  impressed  him  with  lessons  of 
truth. 

A  few  months  later,  the  President  again  addressed  the 
board  in  no  uncertain  tone.  In  the  meantime  he  had  ten- 
dered his  resignation  and  this  meeting  was  called  to  con- 
sider the  nomination  of  his  successor.  Said  he,  "The  num- 
ber of  students  present  at  this  time  is  seventy -nine,  and  I  am 
constrained  to  say  that  even  with  this  small  number,  the  dis- 
cipline of  the  institution  is  far  worse  than  I  have  ever 
known  it  during  the  thirty-seven  years  of  my  connection 
with  it." 

Then  he  proceeds  to  state  what  he  considers  the  cause  of 
the  decline.  He  referred  to  the  want  of  harmony  in  the 
faculty  during  the  past  few  years,  the  differences  of  opinion 
as  to  the  government  and  course  of  instruction  ;  the  refusal 
of  Professor  Jones  to  comply  with  the  conditions  upon 
which  he  was  elected  ;  the  changes  in  the  course  of  studv 
made  by  Mr.  McCay  and  Dr.  LeConte  against  his  protest ; 
the  inattention  of  Professor  McCay  to  his  duties  ;  the  refusal 
of  the  LeContes  to  visit  the  rooms  of  students  or  to  suppress 
disorder  on  the  campus ;  the  refusal  of  Professor  Venable  to 
perform  the  same  duties ;  the  inability  of  Professor  Waddell 
to  maintain  order  or  to  control  his  classes ;  the  want  of  pro- 
fessional qualifications  in  Professor  Broun.  He  complained 
of  a  recent  rule  of  the  faculty  permitting  any  professor  to 
prevent  a  student  from  entering  college  or  sustaining  a  full 
standing  in  his  class,  whatever  ma}'  be  the  opinion  of  the  re- 
maining members  of  the  facult\r,  the  result  of  which  had 
been  to  drive  away  to  other  colleges  numbers  of  \roung  men 
who  could  have  sustained  themselves  with  credit  until  their 
graduation.  He  appealed  to  the  community,  the  resident 
trustees  and  the  citizens  of  the  State  to  witness  whether 
any  other  object  than  the  prosperity  of  the  college  had  en- 


64  HISTORICAL      SKETCH 

grossed    his   attention  since  his   first  connection    with  its 
faculty. 

The  effect  of  this  communication  was  an  immediate  resolu- 
tion that  all  the  members  of  the  faculty  be  requested  to  fur- 
nish the  board  with  their  respective  resignations  forthwith, 
with  a  view  to  the  reorganization  of  said  faculty.  The 
request  was  complied  with,  with  apparent  cheerfulness. 
All  the  resignations  were  accepted  and  an  election  appointed 
for  December   10th,  1856,  following. 

The  reorganized  faculty  consisted  of  Alonzo  Church,  Presi- 
dent; Patrick  H.  Mell,  Professor  of  Languages;  John  D. 
Easter,  Natural  Philosophy  and  Chemistry ;  Williams  Ruth- 
erford, Professor  of  Mathematics;  Joseph  Jones,  Professor 
of  Natural  Science  ;  Richard  M.Johnston,  Professor  of  Belles 
Lettres^  William  Henry  Waddell,  Adjunct  Professor  of  Lan- 
guages; William  D.  Wash,  Adjunct  Professor  of  Mathe- 
matics. 

Dr.  Brantly  was  re-elected  to  his  chair,  but  declined,  and  Dr. 
James  Woodrow  also  declined  the  chair  of  natural  science. 

Dr.  Church  did  not  much  longer  remain  in  office.  His  final 
resignation  took  effect  January  1,  1859,  when  he  retired 
with  a  widowed  daughter,  the  only  one  of  his  family  left  in 
Athens,  to  a  residence  a  little  out  of  town.  There  in  peace 
and  in  quietude,  but  with  failing  health,  he  lived  until,  dur- 
ing the  following  year,  the  summons  to  the  presence  of  the 
Master  came. 

William  T.  Brantly  was  born  in  Beaufort,  S.  C,  May 
1,  1816.  His  father  was  a  distinguished  minister  of  the 
Baptist  church,  and  his  mother  a  sister  of  Governor  Charles 
McDonald.  His  early  youth  was  spent  in  Philadelphia, 
where  he  was  employed  for  a  time  in  the  banking  house  of 
the  Drexels,  and  afterwards  offered  a  partnership  in  the  busi- 
ness. This  tempting  offer  he  declined  under  the  conviction 
that  he  was  called  to  preach  the  gospel. 

Entering  Brown  University,  he  graduated  under  the  cele- 
brated Francis  Way  land,  for  whom  he  entertained  the  highest 
admiration.  Before  his  graduation  even  he  received  a  call 
from    the  church    in    Augusta,  Georgia,  in    which  he  had 


IMYKKSITY    Ot    QEOftGlA.  0& 

preached  while  on  a  visit  during  vacation.     This  call   he   ac- 
cepted with  many  misgivings. 

Bight  years  later,  Dr.  Brantly  was  elected  professor  of 
belles-lettres  and  oratory  in  the  University  of  Georgia,  and 
h"re  he  spent  the  happiest  years  of  his  life.  A  charming  wife 
and  lovely  children,  ample  means  and  acongenial  occupation 
combined  to  make  his  days  full  of  pleasure,  while  he  enjoyed 
the  society  of  the  best  people  and  the  most  cultured  intellects 
in  the  State. 

Dr.  Brantly  was  himself  an  ornament  to  any  society. 
Handsome  and  cultured,  courtly  in  manner,  a  brilliant 
talker,  an  eloquent  speaker,  he  was  a  welcome  guest  at 
every  gathering.  While  a  professor  at  Athens  he  also  served 
the  Baptist  church  as  pastor.  His  sermons  were  elegant,  yet 
eas\r  of  comprehension,  and  the  students,  as  well  as  the  poor 
and  unlearned,  flocked  to  hear  his  discourses.  A  polished 
and  graceful  orator,  he  inspired  his  pupils  with  his  own  love 
of  eloquence  and  some  of  the  most  attractive  speakers  of  our 
State  learned  their  tones  and  gestures  from  this  master  of 
oratory.  When  the}^  spoke,  he  himself  became  enthused. 
On  one  occasion  when  John  B.  Gordon  was  declaiming  upon 
the  stage,  Dr.  Brantly  walked  down  and  said  to  another 
student,  rubbing  his  hands,   "Gordon  is    doing    splendidly." 

Eight  happy  years,  full  of  valuable  service  to  the  Univer- 
sity, were  spent  at  Athens,  when  the  connection  was  severed 
by  the  trustees  asking  the  resignation  of  the  entire  fac- 
ulty. Although  Dr.  Brantly  was  re-elected  to  his  chair — per- 
haps, unanimously — the  sense  of  the  slight  tenure  of  office 
under  such  methods  was  a  potent  factor  in  deciding  him  to 
accept  a  call  to  Philadelphia.  Serving  the  church  there  until 
after  the  battle  of  Manassas,  in  1861,  he  resigned  his  charge 
and  cast  his  lot  with  his  own  people  in  Atlanta. 

The  first  Mrs.  BrantW,  a  daughter  of  Dr.  Turpin,  of 
Augusta,  died  in  1866.  A  charming  woman  she  was,  whose 
beauty  and  attractions,  with  all  the  brilliancy  of  the  father, 
were  inherited  by  a  lovely  daughter,  Miss  Lou,  the  sweet- 
heart of  half  the  students  of  the  time. 


66  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

In  1871,  Dr.  Brantly  moved  to  Baltimore,  where  lie  served 
the  church  for  eleven  years.  On  the  night  of  March  5, 
1882,  having  preached  as  usual  during  the  day,  he  laid 
down  to  rest  and  never  awoke  again  on  earth.

New  Plan  of  Organization— Senatus    A.cademicus  Abolished— Cobbham 

Lois  Sold — Mess  Hall  and  University  Bigb  School  Built— Election  of 
Chancellor  Lipscomb — .John  and  Joseph  LeConte — Professor  Ven- 
able — Professor  Richard  |£.  Johnston. 

1859-1860. 

In  1859,  a  new  scheme  of  organization  of  the  University 
was  adopted  by  the  board,  which  was  essentially  as  follows  : 

1..  To  establish  an  institute  combining  all  the  instruction 
given  in  a  well-regulated  village  academy  and  in  the  Fresh- 
man and  Sophomore  classes  in  college,  and  having  sufficient 
capacity  to  board  all  its  pupils  from  a  distance. 

2.  To  establish  a  college  proper  with  only  Junior  and 
Senior  classes,  under  five  professors. 

3.  To  establish  University  schools,  independent  of  the 
college  and  of  each  other,  viz. :  a  law  school,  a  school  of 
agriculture,  of  medicine,  of  civil  engineering  and  a  com- 
mercial school. 

4.  The    establishment    of    scholarships    by    donations    or 
devises. 

5.  The  conferring  of  honors  and  degrees. 

6.  All  departments  to  be  under  a  Chancellor,  who  shall  be 
the  head  of  the  institution. 

The  law  school  was  at  once  established  under  the  super- 
vision of  Joseph  H.  Lumpkin,  Thomas  R.R.  Cobb  and  William 
Hope  Hull,  and  steps  were  taken  which  ultimately  resulted  in 
the  existing  connection  between  the  Medical  College  in 
Augusta  and  the  University. 

This  scheme  was  reported  to  the  Senatus  Academicus,  at 
what  proved  to  be  its  last  meeting  in  November,  1859,  and 
was  adopted  by  that  body. 

The  act  of  December  4,  1859,  declares  that  "Whereas,  ex- 
perience has  shown  that  the  body  known  as  the  Senatus 
Academicus  on  account  of  the  hurried  manner  in    which   its 


68  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

sessions  are  generally  held,  has  a  tendency  to  defeat  rather 
than  promote  the  objects  for  which  it  is  designed,  therefore 
be  it  enacted  that  the  body  Senatus  Academicus  shall  be 
abolished  and  all  its  rights,  powers,  duties  and  privileges 
shall  be  given  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  University  of 
Georgia,  in  whom  alone  shall  be  vested  the  government  of 
the  said  University,  subject  to  the  General  Assembly  of  this 
State." 

The  appointment  of  fifteen  persons  annually  as  a  board 
of  visitors  to  attend  the  examination  of  the  classes  of  the 
University  hitherto  made  by  the  Seuatus  Academicus  was  by 
the  same  act  vested  in  the  governor. 

By  virtue  of  this  act,  the  Senatus  Academicus,  that  "an- 
cient aegis  of  the  University,"  was  abolished  after  an  exist- 
ence of  more  than  seventy  years. 

From  the  sale  of  the  remaining  lots  in  "Cobbham,"  the 
available  assets  of  the  University  in  bonds  and  notes 
amounted  to  $33,600.  It  was  determined  that  this  should 
be  appropriated  to  erect  new  buildings.  Accordingly,  con- 
tracts were  given  out  for  the  erection  of  the  present  library 
building  at  $11,600;  a  "Mess  Hall"— the  brick  dwelling  on 
Lumpkin  street— at  $4,000,  and  the  University  High  School, 
now  called  "Rock  College',"  at  $23,000. 

The  last  two  proved  unprofitable  investments.  The  mess 
hall  scheme  was  not  even  attempted,  and  the  house  has  only 
been  tenanted  by  renters,  excepting  a  brief  occupancy  b}~  a 
professor. 

The  High  School  was  opened  in  January,  1862,  with  most 
flattering  prospects,  but  the  varying  fortunes  of  ensuing 
years  made  impossible  the  development  of  the  plan  for 
which  it  was  intended. 

The  resignation  of  President  Church  left  the  college  with- 
out an  executive  head.  Henry  Hull,  Jr.,  Esq.,  was  nomi- 
nated, but  declined  the  appointment.  Mr.  Henry  R.  Jackson 
and  Judge  Joseph  H.  Lumpkin  were  successively  tendered 
the  position,  both  declining.  Col.  William  L.  Mitchell,  a 
prominent  member  of  the  board  was  then  designated  chair- 
man  of   the  faculty    to    act    as    president   pro   tern.     The 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  69 

board  seemed  at  a  loss  to  whom  to  turn,  and  were  on  the 
point  of  adjourning  without  action,  when  Mr.  Benjamin  C. 
Yancey,  a  newly-elected  trustee,  who  had  taken  his  seat  for 
the  first  time,  arose  and  said,  though  with  some  diffidence, 
that  he  could  point  the  board  to  a  gentleman  in  every  way 
fitted  for  the  place  by  scholarship,  eminent  piety,  broad 
culture  and  experience  in  teaching.  That  man  was  Rev.  An- 
drew A.  Lipscomb,  of  Alabama. 

So  cordial  was  his  endorsement  and  so  convincing  was  his 
testimony  to  his  worth  that  a  committee  consisting  of  Rob- 
ert Toombs,  William  Dougherty  and  Benjamin  C.  Yancey, 
was  appointed  to  wait  on  Dr.  Lipscomb  at  his  home,  notify 
him  of  his  election  as  chancellor  and  urge  his  accept- 
ance. The  committee  visited  Alabama  without  delay.  Dr. 
Lipscomb,  after  a  brief  consideration  of  the  offer,  accepted 
the  appointment  and  assumed  its  duties  the  following  year. 

Prior  to  this,  on  the  resignation  of  Professor  Joseph  Jones, 
Harry  Hammond,  Esq.,  of  Beach  Island,  S.  C,  was  elected 
to  his  place.  Later,  Professor  Easter  tendered  his  resigna- 
tion, then  Professor  Johnston  and,  afterwards,  Professor 
Hammond. 

More  than  passing  notice  is  due  to  some  of  the 
gentlemen  who  had  severed  their  connection*  with  the  Uni- 
versity. The  LeContes  were  native  Georgians,  both  alumni 
and  honor  men  of  the  University.  Their  difficulties  here 
were  by  no  means  due  to  incapacity  or  lack  of  effective 
teaching.  Both  men  of  piety  and  pure  lives,  lovable  in  their 
characters,  devoted  to  scientific  research,  they  had  the  active 
talent  which  has  put  them  in  the  front  rank  of  America's 
pavants.  They,  with  Professors  Broun  and  Venable,  repre- 
sented the  advanced  thought  of  the  day.  They  believed  the 
University  should  be  at  least  a  high-grade  college,  and  that 
university  methods  should  be  introduced  at  Athens.  Dr. 
Church  conservative  and  wise,  opposed  radical  changes  be- 
ing made  and  declared  that  the  university  system  was 
unsuited  to  the  age  at  which  students  attended  this  college. 
The  young  professors  espoused  the  doctrine  of  the  geologj- 


70  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

cal  creation  of  the  world.  Dr.  Church  abhorred  it  as  the 
rankest  heresy.  The  one  party  were  disposed  to  relax  the 
exactions  of  police  duty  on  the  campus  and  to  put  more 
responsibility  for  good  conduct  on  the  boys  themselves.  Dr. 
Church  regarded  strict  discipline  as  the  foundation  stone  of 
the  college  edifice. 

With  such  divergent  views,  a  rupture  was  inevitable,  and 
the  board,  themselves  conservative  almost  to  "  old  fogy  ism," 
sustained  the  president  when  the  issue  was  made. 

The  LeContes  went  to  Columbia,  S.  C,  and  after  the  war, 
to  the  University  of  California,  at  Oakland,  building  an  en- 
viable reputation  as  teachers  and  scientists.  Dr.  John 
LeConte  died  a  few  years  ago  the  president  of  that  Univer- 
sity.    Dr.  Joseph  LeConte  remains  there  full  of  honors. 

Professor  Venable's  connection  with  the  University  was 
too  brief  to  make  much  of  her  history.  He  was  known 
during  the  Civil  War  as  Adjutant  to  the  great  commander, 
Gen.  Robert  E.  Lee,  and  for  many  years  since,  has  been  pro- 
fessor of  mathematics  at  the  University  of  Virginia. 

Richard  M.  Johnston  was  born  at  Powellton,  Ga.  A  lawyer 
by  profession  and  a  student  by  taste,  he  brought  to  the  chair 
to  which  he  was  elected  plenty  of  common  sense  and  a  thor- 
ough knowledge*  of  boys.  .  Full  of  humor,  genial  and  kind, 
he  attracted  a  student  at  first  sight.  Quick  to  detect  a  de- 
ception, he  did  not  hesitate  to  visit  his  scorn  upon  the  de- 
ceiver; and,  if  by  chance,  he  did  any  injustice  to  a  student, 
he  was  quick  to  offer  him  the  apology  due  a  gentleman  in 
the  presence  of  the  class.  He  endeavored  to  cultivate  in  the 
young  men  under  him  an  innate  love  for  truth  and  honor 
for  their  own  sake.  Col.  Johnston  was  a  favorite  with 
all — 3'oung  and  old,  students,  faculty  and  citizens.  He  and 
Mrs.  Johnston,  both  accomplished  musicians,  were  always 
in  demand  at  every  social  gathering,  and  there  was  univer- 
sal regret  when  they  left  Athens  to  open  a  boys'  school  near 
Sparta.  Subsequently  removing  to  Baltimore,  Col.  Johnston 
conducted  a  most  flourishing  school  at  Waverly.  Of  late  years, 


IMVERSITY   OF   GEORGIA.  71 

he  has  devoted  himself  to  writing  character  sketches  of 
Georgia  folks,  and  all  his  "output"  is  readily  in  demand  for 
the  magazines.  Though  advanced  in  years,  his  heart  is 
young  and  his  memory  green.    Health  and  happiness  to  thee, 

old  friend !

Outbreak  of  the  Civil  War — University  High  School— College  Ex- 
ercises— Alumni  in  Service — Professor  William  D.  Wash — Status  at 
the  Close  of  the  War — Hon.  Asbury  Hull. 

1861-1866. 

The  five  years  following  Dr.  Lipscomb's  inauguration 
were  not  conducive  to  study  nor  to  the  growth  of  the  Uni- 
versity in  any  respect. 

The  fall  of  1860,  pregnant  with  important  issues,  stirred 
the  whole  South,  and  the  election  of  Mr.  Lincoln,  followed 
b}'  the  secession  of  South  Carolina  and,  a  few  weeks  later,  by 
the  secession  of  Georgia,  kept  the  students  and  the  faculty 
at  the  highest  pitch  of  excitement.  The  year  1861  opened 
with  one  hundred  and  twenty-three  students  enrolled.  Be- 
fore midsummer,  seventy -five  had  enlisted  and  were  then  in 
the  army,  and  nearly  all  the  others  were  preparing  to  vol- 
unteer. 

Professor  Wash  resigned  and  joined  a  regiment  from  his 
native  state,  Mississippi,  which  served  in  Morgan's  famous 
band.  Dr.  Mell  accepted  the  captaincy  of  an  infantry  com- 
pany named  for  him  the  Mell  Rifles,  and  volunteered ;  but 
just  before  they  were  ordered  out,  a  severe  affliction  in  his 
family  made  it  necessary  for  him  to  remain  at  home. 

There  was  drilling  and  studying  of  tactics,  and  marching 
and  countermarching.  With  or  without  permission  of  pa- 
rents or  faculty,  the  boys  left  for  their  homes  or  to  join  the 
companies  already  in  the  camps,  or  those  being  formed  for 
service  in  the  army,  little  dreaming  what  the  next  four  years 
held  in  storf  for  them. 

The  attendance  steadily  decreased  and  each  session  opened 
with  fewer  numbers  than  the  close  of  the  preceding  one. 

President  Davis  was  petitioned  by  the  chancellor  in  behalf 
of  the  University,  to  exempt  from  conscription    all    college

students  under  twenty-one  years  of  age.  The  president  re- 
plied that  he  had  no  control  in  that  matter,  which  was  deter- 
mined by  the  act  of  Congress. 

Times  grew  harder.  The  income  of  the  college  was  seri- 
ously diminished.  Salaries  were  reduced  at  first  twenty  per 
cent,  and  afterwards  one  hundred  per  cent.,  the  chancellor 
receiving  $250  per  annum  in  Confederate  money. 

In  the  meantime,  the  Collegiate  Institute,  as  it  was  called, 
under  Mr.  Benjamin  R.  Carroll,  of  Charleston,  and  Mr.  L.  H- 
Charbonnier,  continued  to  prosper.  Many  sons  of  refugees 
and  others  from  Charleston,  Savannah  and  Augusta  were 
sent  there  to  be  put  under  the  admirable  ^control  of  Mr. 
Carroll.  The  bo3rs  were  formed  into  companies  and  in- 
structed in  military  tactics  by  Captain  Charbonnier,  himself 
a  French  soldier  and  a  graduate  of  St.  Cyr.  When  the  act  of 
Congress  was  passed,  requiring  the  enrollment  of  youths  be- 
tween the  ages  of  seventeen  and  eighteen,  the  Secretary  of 
War  detailed  these  high  school  boys  for  local  defense. 

In  October,  1863,  the  college  was  closed  in  consequence 
of  a  proclamation  of  Governor  Brown,  calling  out  State 
troops  and  home  guard  companies  for  the  defense  of  Geor- 
gia after  the  capture  of  Chattanooga  by  the  Federals.  This 
proclamation  took  away  the  chancellor,  all  the  professors 
and  the  students,  the  most  of  whom  joined  a  company 
raised  in  Athens  and  attached  to  a  regiment  commanded  by 
Dr.  Mell.  The  dormitor\r  buildings  were  now  occupied 
by  the  families  of  refugees  from  New  Orleans,  Mobile 
and  Savannah.  The  High  School  was  converted  into  an 
hospital.  From  this  time  until  January,  1866,  history  is 
silent  as  to  the  University. 

But  though  the  University  was  silent,  not  so  her  alumni. 
They  were  busily  engaged  in  making  a  history,  whose  pages 
glow  with  bold  words  and  brave  deeds,  with  victories  and 
with  privations  which  have  not  been  surpassed  and  which 
will  never  be  forgotten.  To  repeat  their  deeds,  would  be  to 
recite  the  story  of  every  campaign  from  Sumter  to  Appo- 
mattox. To  name  the  heroes  of  the  war,  would  be  to  call 
the  roll  of  half  the  catalogue  of    students.     From  secession

dent of  the  first  Provisional  Congress,  and  Robert  Toombs, 
the  first  Confederate  Secretary  of  State,  both  afterwards

We  mourned  thelossof  Francis  S.  Bartow  at  Manassas,  of 
Thomas  R.  R.  Cobb  at  Fredericksburg,  of  Marcellus  Doug- 
lass at  Sharpsburg,  of  Gustavus  A.  Bull  at  Seven  Pines,  of 
Edward  D.  Tracy  at  Port  Gibson,  of  Thomas  U.  Camak

and  Stovall  and  Rush,  and  Mell,  and  many  another  who 
fell  in  skirmish  and  on  battle-field,  or  languished  and  died 
in  prison  or  in  hospital.  And  who  has  surpassed  the  cour- 
age of  William  M.  Chase  at  Franklin,  or  William  L.  Church 
at  Brandy  Station,  or  John  B.  Gordon  at  Petersburg,  or 
Garlington,  or  Sims,  or  Wash?  Without  discounting  the 
bravery  of  the  private  soldier,  and  he  deserves  unstinted 
praise,  the  educated  brain  invariably  made  its  mark  in  the 
army.  It  controlled  the  nerves  and  trained  the  museles  to 
endure  the  fearful  strain  of  forced  march  and  starvation. 
It  was  the  college  man,  the  educated  brain,  that  withstood 
the  attack  of  disease;  that  rallied  from  the  exhaustion  of  the 
wound  and  kept  up  the  spirits  amid  the  gloomy  surround- 
ings of  the  prison  pen.     Among  them  all,  in  the  trenches  or

in  the  charge,  there  were  none  more  brave  than  the  men  who 
were  nurtured  in  the  halls  of  the  University  of  Georgia. 

In  this  connection,  it  is  fitting  that  a  tribute  should  be 
paid  to  the  memory  of  William  I).  Wash,  Adjunct  Professor 
of  Mathematics,  who  resigned  his  office  at  the  close  of  the 
year  1861,  to  enter  the  service  of  his  country.  Joining  a 
company  of  Mississippi  cavalry,  he  was  attached  to  General 
John  II.  Morgan's  command  in  June,  1862.  At  Bradyville, 
Tenn.,  March  1,  1863,  he  was  ca'ptured  and  imprisoned  at 
Cam])  Butler,  Illinois.  Here,  though  inured  to  the  hardships 
and  privations  of  a  soldier's  life,  he  succumbed  to  the  horrors 
of  a  Northern  prison  and  died  twenty-seven  days  after  his 
capture.  A  comrade  wrote:  "He  knew  no  fear.  I  have  no 
hesitation  in  saying  he  was  the  bravest  man  I  ever  saw,  as 
cool  in  battle  as  if  he  did  not  know  wrhat  was  going  on. 
At  Cynthiana,  Ky.,  he  went  ahead  of  his  command  amid  a 
shower  of  bullets  and  minded  them  no  more  than  a  summer 
shower.  At  Gallatin,  Tenn.,  he  distinguished  himself  by 
coolness  and  bravery.  I  have  been  intimately  acquainted 
with  Mr.  Wash  and  with  pleasure  bear  testimony  to  his 
Christian  integrity,  nobleness  of  purpose  and  undaunted 
courage.  Many  a  time  have  I  heard  his  full,  rich  voice  in 
camp  lifted  to  Heaven  in  prayer.  The  high  moral  tone  of 
his  character  won  him  the  respect  of  all  with  whom  he 
met." 

It  is  a  matter  of  deep  regret  that  there  is  no  fuller  record 
of  the  individual  heroism  of  our  alumni.  But  it  is  so,  too,  of 
the  history  of  the  South.  The  years  following  thesurrender 
were  so  full  of  sorrow  and  distress  and  apprehension,  that 
the  inclination  to  collect  and  record  the  proud  deeds  of  that 
struggle  was  utterly  wanting,  until  death  or  failing  mem- 
ory put  it  beyond  the  pale  of  possibility.  It  is  the  misfor- 
tune of  the  South  that  her  youths  are  growing  up  ignorant 
of  their  fathers'  valor  and  of  the  heroism  of  their  own 
people. 

The  old  campus  presented  a  woeful  appearance  after  the 
close  of  the  war.  The  walks  were  overgrown  with  grass, 
weeds  grew   rampant  everywhere,  fences   were  broken   or 


76  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

burned,  windows  demolished,  and  the  interior  of  the  chapel 
and  dormitories  hacked  and  smoked,  and  in  every  way  dis- 
figured by  their  late  tenants,  the  Federal  soldiers. 

The  summer  of  1865,  Dr.  Lipscomb  preached  the  com- 
mencement sermon  at  the  Presbyterian  church.  The  trustees 
at  that  meeting  determined  to  re-open  the  college  notwith- 
standing the  distressing  condition  of  the  people. 

The  chancellor  and  faculty  were  requested  to  have  the 
premises  put  in  order  and  to  make  arrangements  to  resume 
the  work  of  the  institution. 

Gen.  Steedman,  the  military  governor  of  Georgia,  had  the 
garrison  removed  from  the  campus  to  the  High  School.  The 
buildings  were  thoroughly  purified  and  whitewashed  and 
some  semblance  of  respectability  was  imparted  to  them.  Mrs- 
Thomas  Moore  took  the  New  College  and  opened  a  boarding- 
house  for  students,  under  the  direction  of  the  chancellor. 

The  one  session  plan  was  adopted,  having  all  the  vacation 
in  the  summer,  and  has  continued  ever  since  to  be  the  law 
of  the  college. 

In  that  year  of  1865,  occurred  the  death  of  Hon.  Asbury 
Hull,  for  forty -seven  years  the  honored  secretary  and  treas- 
urer of  the  Universit}'  of  Georgia. 

Though  never  a  member  of  the  board,  his  advice  and  coun_ 
sel  were  always  sought  in  questions  of  interest  to  the  col- 
lege and  his  excellent  judgment  and  marked  executive  ability 
were  often  invoked  to  aid  the  purposes  of  the  trustees. 

Mr.  Asbury  Hull  was  the  elder  son  of  Rev.  Hope  Hull  and 
very  like  him  in  personal  appearance.  A  lawyer  by  profes- 
sion, he  gave  the  most  of  his  time  to  the  administration  of 
business  affairs.  Dignified,  calm  and  impartial,  he  was 
called  to  preside  at  all  the  public  meetings  of  his  day.  His 
sincerity  and  piety  inspired  all  classes  with  the  utmost  confi- 
dence in  the  man,  and  though  his  opinion  on  every  question 
was  declared  without  the  reserve,  no  word  of  aught  but  re- 
spect was  ever  uttered  by  his  strongest  political  opponent. 
He  was  long  the  cashier  of  the  State  Bank  at  Athens  and, 
from  its  incipiency,  the  president  of  the  Southern  Mutual  In- 
surance Company.     Several  times   a  member  of  the   Legis- 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  ,  , 

lature,  he  served  both  as  Speaker  of  the  House  and  Presi- 
dent of  the  Senate. 

Mr.  Hull  was  a  fluent  speaker  and  especially  fervent  in 
prayer.  His  death  was  sudden  and  painless.  He  had  concluded 
morning  prayers  with  his  family,  and  a  few  minutes  later, 
his  wife  going  to  call  him  to  breakfast,  found  him  sitting  in 
his  chair  with  open  Bible  in  his  hands,  dead. 

After  the  death  of  Mr.  Hull,  William  L.  Mitchell,  Esq.,  a 
member  of  the  board,  became  his  successor  in  office. 

Dr.  Lipscomb,  Dr.  Mell,  Mr.  Rutherford,  Mr.  Waddell  and 
Dr. Jones  were  in  their  places  on  January  5th,  1866,  and  the 
session  opened  with  seventy -eight  students  present.  For  a 
few  years  after  the  war,  the  class  of  students  was  unlike  any 
that  had  ever  attended  college  before.  Many  of  them  were 
grown  men  and  most  of  them  had  been  through  the  costly 
experience  of  a  four  year's  war,  with  all  its  lessons  of  en- 
durance and  self-denial.  They  had  not  come  for  pastime  or 
to  idle  away  their  time.  They  were  in  dead  earnest.  It  was 
a  question  of  food  and  raiment,  a  struggle  for  existence. 
Poorly  fitted  for  a  college  curriculum,  it  was  only  by  hard 
work  that  they  kept  up  with  the  requirements.  But  those 
were  the  men  who  a  few  years  later  swayed  the  sceptre  of 
the  State  and  redeemed  Georgia  from  the  blighting  curse  of 
the  carpet-bagger. 

All  honor  to  them  and  their  persevering  industry  !

1866-1870. 

At  the  session  of  the  board  in  July,  1866,  a  resolution  was 
adopted  providing  for  a  re-election  of  the  faculty  every 
four  years  by  ballot  without  discussion.  The  election  of  ad- 
ditional professors  was  in  contemplation,  and  it  looked  as  if 
the  resolution  was  intended  to  quietly  rid  the  college  of  any 
who  might  not  prove  acceptable.  This  " smoking  out"  pro- 
cess was  never  resorted  to,  however,  the  resolution  having 
been  afterwards  rescinded. 

A  professional  school  of  engineering  was  established  and 
General  Martin  L.  Smith  was  elected  professor.  General 
Smith  was  a  distinguished  engineer  officer  of  the  war  and 
would  have  brought  great  ability  to  his  chair,  but  unfortu- 
nately died  before  the  opening  of  the  term.  The  work  of 
the  school  was  postponed  until  the  next  year,  when  Capt. 
L.  H.  Charbonnier  was  appointed  to  the  vacancy.  Profes- 
sor Leroy  Broun  was  recalled  to  take  the  department  of 
natural  philosophy.  Captain  J .  Pembroke  Jones,  late  of  the 
Confederate  Navy,  was  appointed  adjunct  professor  of 
mathematics. 

The  annual  commencement,  which  had  been  advanced  to 
July,  was  now  restored  to  its  old  date  in  August.  This 
action  of  the  board,  it  was  said,  was  due  to  the  ladies  of 
Athens.  As  one  of  the  trustees  said,  "it  was  a  question  of 
watermelons."  The  hospitable  housekeepers  said  they  could 
get  nothing  to  eat  for  their  guests  so  early  in  July,  and  the}- 
insisted  that  commencement  should  be  held  when  peaches 
and  watermelons  were  abundant.     It  was  an    argamentum 


I'MYKUM  TV    OF   GEORGIA. 

ad  hominem  which  could  not  be  successfully  resisted,  and, as 
usual,  they  carried  their  point. 

An  unprecedented  number  of  vacancies  in  the  board  oc- 
curred in  1867.  Jndge  Joseph  H.  Lumpkin  and  Bishop 
Hlliot  died;  Henry  Hull,  David  A.  Reese  and  Richard  M. 
Johnston  removed  from  the  State,  and  H.  V.  M.  Miller  and 
Benjamin  F.  Ward  were  vacated  for  absence  by  operation 
of  law. 

The  gentlemen  elected  to  fill  these  vacancies  were  Martin 
J.  Crawford,  Joel  A.  Billups,  Stevens  Thomas,  David  C.  Bar- 
row, J.  W.  Armstrong  and  George  F.  Pierce. 

An  act  was  passed  by  the  Legislature  appropriating  three 
hundred  dollars  to  the  maintenance  and  education  of  each 
maimed  soldier  who  should  avail  himself  of  the  opportunity. 
Ninety -three  responded  to  this  offer  and  were  located  at 
the  High  School,  then  under  the  charge  of  Mr.  Benjamin  T. 
Hunter. 

The  intense  political  excitement  of  the  reconstruction 
period  was  at  its  height  in  1867.  Mr.  Benjamin  H. 
Hill  had  finished  that  remarkable  series  of  letters,  "Notes 
on  the  Situation."  Governor  Brown  had  cast  his  lot  with 
the  Radicals,  who  were  arraigned  against  the  intelligence 
and  integrity  of  the  State. 

At  the  commencement  of  that  year,  during  the  exercises  of 
the  junior  class,  Albert  H.  Cox,  of  LaGrange,  came  upon 
the  stage.  Handsome,  with  a  clear  voice  and  graceful  man- 
ner, he  soon  caught  the  attention  of  the  audience.  His  sub- 
ject was"The  Vital  Principle  of  Nations."  Having  delivered 
his  introduction,  he  entered  upon  his  speech,  which,  for  true 
eloquence,  close  reasoning  and  pure  audacity,  has  never  been 
equalled  by  the  production  of  any  other  student  on  that 
stage.  He  arraigned  the  Republican  party  and  scored  the 
scallawag  without  mercy.  Without  using  his  name,  he  at- 
tacked Governor  Brown  and  held  him  up  to  the  gaze  of  the 
audience  as  a  traitor  to  his  people,  turning  to  him  as  he  sat 
with  the  trustees  on  the  stage  and  pointing  at  him  in  scorn. 
The  whole  audience  was  with  the  young  speaker,  and,  with 
glowing  faces,  gave  him  unstinted    applause.     Mr.  Hill   sat 


80  HISTORICAL   SKETCH 

near  him  and  visibly  encouraged  him  by  voice  and  gesture. 
Governor  Brown  across  the  stage  sat  placid  and  unmoved. 
It  was  a  scene  never  to  be  forgotten,  and  when  Cox  retired 
from  the  stage  amid  a  storm  of  applause  and  a  shower  of 
bouquets,  he  went  with  more  reputation  made  during  that 
brief  half -hour  than  many  a  man  makes  in  a  lifetime. 

Upon  resuming  their  session,  the  board  of  trustees  "re- 
affirmed its  conviction  of  the  importance  of  that  law  of  the 
University  by  which  party  political  subjects  are  excluded 
from  the  speeches  of  students  at  commencement." 

This  audacious  speech  threatened  to  be  more  serious  in  its 
consequences  than  anyone  dreamed  at  the  time.  Georgia 
was  under  military  control,  and  General  John  Pope,  of 
"Headquarters  in  the  Saddle"  fame,  commanding  at  At- 
lanta, issued  an  order  closing  the  college  and  withholding 
the  payment  of  the  eight  thousand  dollars  b}^  the  State. 
The  chancellor  visited  General  Pope  and  secured  a  revoca- 
tion of  the  first  order.  A  correspondence  ensued  between 
General  Pope  and  General  Grant  in  relation  to  the  matter. 
Mr.  Hill  visited  President  Johnson  and  General  Grant  in  the 
interest  of  the  college,  and  it  was  not  until  a  special  meet- 
ing of  the  board  had  been  held  to  issue  an  address  to  the 
authorities  at  Washington,  that  the  appropriation  was  re- 
stored. 

In  1868,  the  number  of  students  reached  354.  However, 
of  these,  132  were  students  in  the  high  school  department, 
many  of  them  mature  men,  old  soldiers  seeking  to  make  up 
the  lost  years  they  had  spent  in  the  field.  The  tuition  fees 
amounted  to  $15,000  and  the  prospects  of  the  college  war- 
ranted the  establishment  of  a  chair  of  History  and  Political 
Science,  to  which  Hon.  Alexander  H.  Stephens  was  elected, 
but  which  he  declined  on  account  of  ill  health.  Professor 
Charles  Morris  was  invited  to  the  chair  of  belles-lettres, 
hitherto  so  admirably  taught  by  Dr.  Lipscomb,  and  Profes- 
sor M.  J.  Smead  assumed  the  department  of  modern  lan- 
guages, which  had  been  practically  ignored  for  fifteen  years. 

Frank  A.  Lipscomb,  who  had  returned  from  a  course  at 
the  University  of  Berlin,  was  made    adjunct    professor  of 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  81 

ancient  languages,  and    Major  R.    W.    Barnwell    was    ap- 
pointed the  librarian  of  the  college. 

Dr.  Lipscomb,  being  in  feeble  health  and  feeling  the  re- 
sponsibility of  his  position  pressing  upon  him,  handed  his 
resignation  to  the  Board,  but  at  their  urgent  request  with- 
drew it. 

A  total  eclipse  of  the  sun  occurring  in  1869,  Professor 
Broun  was  authorized  to  take  with  him  four  students  of 
the  senior  class  and  go  to  Abington,  Va.,  to  observe  it.  An 
appropriation  was  made  to  pay  the  expenses  of  the  party 
and  some  valuable  observations  were  made  on  the  occasion 
by  the  professor  and  his  assistants. 

In  that  year  the  time-honored  custom  of  before  breakfast 
recitations  was  abolished  and  the  hasty  morning  toilet,  the 
hurry  and  scurry  to  answer  at  morning  prayers  was  hence- 
forth but  a  memory  of  the  past,  no  doubt  to  the  delight  of 
both  students  and  professors. 

It  may  be  doubted  whether  the  early  prayers  ever  found 
the  students  in  a  devotional  frame  of  mind.  Many  a  boy 
has  appeared  in  the  chapel  two  minutes  out  of  bed,  sans 
socks,  sans  trousers,  sans  coat,  his  slippers  and  dressing 
gown  alone   saving  him  from   the  charge  of  indecency. 

The  early  morning  recitation  used  to  be  a  great  trial  to 
Professor  Wash.  He  rarely  got  out  to  prayers  and  often  the 
class  would  have  to  wait  for  his  appearance  in  the  recita- 
tion room.  One  morning  the  freshmen  finding  him  not  in, 
all  slipped  off  their  shoes,  intending  to  steal  softly  out  and 
"cut"  the  recitation.  Their  unusual  quiet  aroused  the  sus- 
picions of  Mr.  Wash,  whose  room  was  adjoining.  He  opened 
the  door  to  find  half  the  class  tiptoeing  down  the  hall,  every 
man  with  his  shoes  in  his  hands.  "Comeback,  gentlemen," 
said  he  quietly,  "and  put  on  your  shoes.  I  will  be  in  di- 
rectly." It  might  have  been  imagination,  but  the  lesson 
seemed  unusually  hard  that  morning  and  Air.  Wash  unneces- 
sarily exacting. 

For  some  time  efforts  had  been  made  to  arouse  among  the 
alumni  a  greater  interest  in  the  University.  The  suggestion 
was  made  by  the  chancellor,   adopted    by    the    board    and 


82  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

authorized  by  legislative  enactment  >  to  add  four  more 
trustees,  one  to  be  elected  annually  by  the  alumni  society. 
The  trustees  first  elected  under  this  law  were  N.  J.  Ham- 
mond, Pope  Barrow,  A.  0.  Bacon,  and  John  C.  Rutherford. 
This  new  privilege,  added  to  the  action  of  the  board  setting 
apart  a  day  at  commencement  for  the  alumni  orations, 
brought  an  increased  attendance  upon  their  meetings  for 
some  years.  Latterly,  though,  the  graduating  class  were  ad- 
mitted to  the  meetings  of  the  society,  and  as  the}7  invariably 
voted  in  a  body  a  la  Solid  South,  their  candidate  was  inva- 
riably elected.  It  was  no  difficult  matter  for  an  ambitious 
young  fellow  to  "fix"  the  graduating  class  before  hand  and 
secure  his  election  to  that  coveted  position.  It  is  not: 
charged  that  this  was  always  done,  but  the  older  alumni, 
seeing  the  drift  of  the  matter,  gradually  lost  interest  in  the 
occasion  and  during  the  last  few  years  of  that  regime,  the 
meetings  were  but  poorly  attended.

The  Land-scrip  Fund — State  College  of  Agriculture — Donation  by  (  ii> 
of  Athen: — Moore  College — Chancellor  Lipscomb's  Resignation — 
Sketch  of  I  >r.  Lipscomb. 

1872-1873. 

In  1862,  by  an  act  of  Congress,  thirty  thousand  acres  of 
public  lands  for  each  representative  of  each  State  were  ap- 
propriated to  the  States  for  the  "maintenance  and  support 
nf  at  least  one  college,  where  the  leading  object  shall  he, 
without  excluding  other  scientific  and  classical  studies,  and 
including  military  tactics,  to  teach  such  branches  of  learn- 
ing as  are  related  to  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts,  in 
such  a  manner  as  the  legislatures  of  the  States  may  respec- 
tively prescribe,  in  order  to  promote  the  liberal  and  practi- 
cal education  of  the  industrial  classes  in  the  several  pursuits 
and  professions  in  life." 

Owing  to  Georgia  being  out  of  the  Union  at  the  time  and 
very  busily  engaged  in  getting  back  in  for  several  \ears  af- 
terwards, it  was  not  until  March,  1866,  that  our  Legislature 
accepted  the  grant.  The  same  }rear  the  governor  was  directed 
to  apply  for  and  receive  the  scrip,  sell  it  to  the  best  advan- 
tage and  invest  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  in  bonds  of  this 
State  and  disburse  the  interest  of  said  investment  for  the 
support  and  maintenance  of  a  college,  such  as  was  contem- 
plated by  the  act  of  congress.  The  "Land-scrip,"  so-called, 
was  a  \Varrant  of  the  United  States  Government  authoriz- 
ing the  State,  or  its  transferee,  to  locate  so  many  acres  of 
public  lands  not  otherwise  appropriated  and  sell  the  same 
for  the  purposes  of  the  act. 

The  governor  sold  this  scrip  to  parties  in  Ohio  for 
$243,000,  which  amount  as  a  principal  fund  is  held  forever 
without  diminution  by  the  State. 

On  March  30,  1872,  a  contract  was  made  between  the 
governor  and  the  trustees  of  the  University,  by  which  the 
latter  administered  the  fund. 


84  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

The  executive  order  relating  to  this  contract  says: 
* 'Whereas,  the  time  allowed  the  State  accepting  said  dona- 
tion to  establish  a  college  or  colleges  under  the  provisions  of 
said  act  of  Congress  will  expire  on  the  2d  day  of  July,  1872, 
when  by  the  terms  of  said  grant,  if  a  college  such  as  is 
therein  described  shall  not  have  been  established,  the  grant 
shall  cease,  and  this  State  will  be  bound  to  repay  to  the 
United  States  the  proceeds  of  the  donation  aforesaid,  and, 
whereas,  the  University  of  Georgia  is  the  only  institution  of 
learning  in  this  State  having  power  by  law  to  organize  and 
establish  a  college  in  all  respects  such  as  is  described  in  said 
act  of  Congress,  and  the  board  of  trustees  of  said  Univer- 
sit}'  having  established  a  college  above  named,  as  follows: 
(then  follows  the  organization  of  the  college).  Ordered,  that 
the  $243,000  derived  from  the  sale  of  the  land-scrip,  as  afore- 
said, shall  be  invested  in  the  bonds  of  the  State  of  Georgia 
bearing  seven  per  cent,  interest  and  that  the  mone}^  so  in- 
vested shall  constitute  a  perpetual  fund,  thecapital  of  which 
shall  remain  forever  undiminished  and  the  interest  of  which 
shall  be  inviolably  appropriated  to  the  endowment,  support 
and  maintenance  of  the  college  organized  by  the  board  of 
trustees  of  the  University  of  Georgia  as  hereinbefore  set 
forth." 

Upon  the  execution  of  this  contract,  the  board  met  to  ratify 
it  and  appointed  May  1st  following,  as  the  date  on  which 
the  State  college  should  be  formally  opened  for  the  recep- 
tion of  students. 

That  year  the  attendance  at  the  University  reached  the 
highest  point  in  its  history — 318 — of  whom  94  were  State 
college  students  and  54  were  high  school  students. 

The  necessity  for  more  room  for  laboratories  and  class- 
rooms was  so  apparent,  and  the  prospects  of  the  college  so 
flattering  that  the  city  of  Athens,  by  a  vote  of  its  citizens, 
donated  $25,000  to  the  University  for  a  building  to  supply 
the  want.  This  was  done  in  recognition  of  the  services  the 
University  had  done  the  town  as  its  virtual  founder,  and 
for  years  its  main  support." 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  v"> 

The  large  vote,  almost  unanimous,  by  which  this  dona- 
tion was  supported,  was  due  mainly  to  the  popularity  and 
personal  efforts  of  Dr.  Richard  D.  Moore,  one  of  the  most 
active  trustees  on  the  board,  and  in  recognition  of  that 
tact,  the  building,  when  completed,  was  named  for  him, 
"Moore  College." 

There  has  long  existed  in  the  minds  of  even  intelligent  men 
a  very  hazy  notion  of  the  connection  between  Franklin  Col- 
lege and  the  State  College  of  Agriculture  and  Mechanic  Arts. 
Both,  like  the  Technological  School,  afterwards  established, 
are  separate  departments  of  the  University  of  Georgia, 
which  has  the  authority  in  its  charter  to  establish  other 
colleges  in  the  State.  The  trustees  by  their  action  said,  "we 
have  ample  buildings,  apparatus  and  a  valuable  library 
which  are  occupied  by  Franklin  College,  whose  income  is  lim- 
ited. The  State  college  has  a  good  income,  but  no  buildings, 
nor  can  any  of  the  fund  belonging  to  that  college  be  ex- 
pended upon  the  purchase  or  erection  of  buildings.  We  will 
permit  the  State  college  to  use  the  lecture-rooms  and  labora- 
toriesof  Franklin  College;  certain  professors  in  the  latter  can 
also  teach  in  the  former,  and  the  State  college  fund  can  help 
to  pa3r  their  salaries  and  other  ordinary  expenses,  excepting 
repairs.  This,  in  fact,  is  done.  The  professor  of  physics  in 
Franklin  College,  for  instance,  teaches  also  in  the  State  col- 
lege and  his  salary  is  paid  by  both  institutions.  There  is 
practically,  no  distinction  between  the  two,  the  lectures  going 
on  simultaneously  and  the  classes  advancing  pari  passu. 
By  combining  the  incomes  of  the  two  colleges,  several  other 
important  departments  are  supported  and  the  efficiency  of 
both  colleges  greatly  increased.  The  copartnership  was  the 
salvation  of  the  University  of  Georgia  and  the  only  oppor- 
tunity it  has  ever  had  to  enlarge  its  curriculum  and  rise  to 
the  level  of  a  high-grade  institution  of  learning. 
•  During  the  year  1872,  Professor  Smead  died  and  was 
succeeded  by  Professor  Cyprian  P.  Willcox;  Dr.  W.  L.  Jones 
resigned  and  Professor  H.  C.  White  was  elected  in  his 
place;  Gen.  E.  P.  Alexander  was  appointed  vice-chancellor 
and  professor  of  industrial  mechanics,  but  declined  ;    Dr.    E. 


86  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

M.  Pendleton  was  made  professor  of  agriculture,  and  Capt. 
James  Bonham  became  instructor  in  military  tactics. 

The  following  year,  Chancellor  Lipscomb  resigned. 

Andrew  Adgate  Lipscomb  was  a  native  of  Virginia.  His 
boyhood  was  spent  in  the  historic  region  of  Manassas,  and 
every  foot  of  that  fiercely -contested  ground  was  familiar 
and  its  features  distinct  in  his  recollection.  Entering  the 
ministry  of  the  Protestant  Methodist  church,  his  feeble 
health  soon  demanded  his  retirement,  and  he  located  in  Ala- 
bama, building  up  a  prosperous  female  school  at  Mont- 
gomery. 

Dr.  Lipscomb  was  a  scholar  of  great  erudition  and  a  lec- 
turer of  great  power.  As  a  sermonizer,  he  was  prone  to  get 
beyond  the  depth  of  his  audience,  but  at  times,  both  in  the 
pulpit  and  on  the  rostrum,  he  rose  to  flights  of  eloquence 
rarefy  equalled  in  a  land  of  orators.  He  was  essentially  a 
benevolent  man,  large-hearted  and  loving.  It  was  his  fault, 
if  fault  it  could  be  called,  to  think  too  well  of  everyone. 
He  never  recognized  the  "old  Adam,'1  nor  admitted  the  ex- 
istence of  ''pure  cussedness"  in  any  boy.  Henry  W.  Grady, 
when  a  college  student,  in  a  college  paper,  admirably  carica- 
tured the  chancellor  in  a  mock  account  of  trial  by  the  fac- 
ulty of  a  student  for  a  misdemeanor.  When  the  other  profes- 
sors had  expressed  their  views,  one  plainly  declaring  that  he 
believed  "Mr.  M.  was  dwunk,"  Dr.  Lipscomb  said,  "I  ap- 
prehend that  the  unconscious  cerebration  in  Mr.  McL — 's 
case,  reacting  through  the  nervous  system,  so  excited  the 
brain  cells,  that  the  impulse  given  to  muscular  action  be- 
came irresistible." 

Though  abhorring  discipline  in  its  strictest  sense,  Dr.  Lips- 
comb, by  personal  appeals  to  the  better  nature  of  his  boys— 
"My  dear  boys"  as  he  was  wont  to  call  them — and  by  earn- 
est personal  interviews,  awakened  in  many  a  student  aspi- 
rations to  a  nobler  life. 

While  chancellor  he  inaugurated  the  Sabbath  afternoon 
service  for  students.  In  these  lectures  he  was  at  his  best. 
Brief— never  longer  than  a  half -hour— pointed,  and  perfect 
gems  of  thought  and  delivery,  they  attracted  large  audiences 


1  \l\  EBSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  .s< 

from  the  city,  taxing  the  utmost  capacity  of  the  prayer- 
room.  A.  master  of  elocution,  a  thorough  rhetorician  and 
an  enthusiast  in  teaching,  the  careers  of  his  pupils,  many  of 
them  prominent  men  in  this  and  other  States,  is  the  measure 
of  Dr.  Lipscomb's  success. 

When  lie  retired  from  the  University,  he  did  so  seeking  ie- 
lief  from  the  responsibilities  of  his  office.  Always  a  sufferer, 
his  nerves  were  always  overstrung,  and  while  apparently 
well,  and  seemingly  robust,  if  interested  in  his  subject,  he 
would  be  greatly  prostrated  by  the  reaction. 

Dr.  Lipscomb  served  the  University  well  in  the  most  try- 
ing times  of  its  history  and  left  it  the  established  pride  of 
the  State.  For  a  few  years  after  his  resignation,  he  served 
as  a  lecturer  at  Vanderbilt  University,  then  returned  to 
spend  the  remainder  of  his  threescore  and  ten  years  at  his 
home  in  Athens.  After  the  death  of  Chancellor  Mell,  Dr. 
Lipscomb  filled  temporarily  the  chair  of  moral   philosophy.

Chancellor  Tucker's   Administration — The  "Walk  Around" — Professor 
W.  Leroy  Broun — Sketch  of  Dr.  Tucker. 

1873-1878. 

Chancellor  Lipscomb  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Henry  H. 
Tucker,  D.  D.  At  the  same  time  Rev.  Eustace  W.  Speer  was 
elected  professor  of  belles-lettres  and  Gen.  William  M. 
Browne  professor  of  history  and  political  science. 

The  first  annual  report  of  Chancellor  Tucker  divulged  a 
woeful  condition  as  to  the  discipline  in  the  college.  He  declar- 
ed the  students  were  very  disorderly,  stamping,  scraping  the 
feet  and* even  smoking  cigars,  both  at  prayers  and  in  the 
recitation  rooms,  and  doing  it  withal  with  a  manner  so  child- 
like and  bland,  that  it  was  impossible  to  determine  who  the 
guilty  parties  were.  At  the  same  time  the  chancellor  bore 
testimony  to  the  gentlemanly  conduct  and  admirable  be- 
havior of  the  students  in  their  personal  relations  both  to 
the  faculty  and  to  the  citizens  of  the  town.  Evidently  the 
students  were  trying  the  mettle  of  the  new  chancellor  as 
students  will  do,  to  see  just  how  far  they  mightimpose  upon 
his  forbearance. 

The  Doctor  declared  the  scholarship  medal  system  a  failure 
and  the  society  medals  a  source  of  great  trouble,  and  alto- 
gether found  much  to  criticise  that  was  left  over  from  the 
last  administration. 

The  commencement  at  which  that  report  was  made  is  re- 
membered by  what  was  jocularly  called  "The  Chancellor's 
Walk  Around.'1  The  house  which  Dr.  Tucker  was  occupying 
being  unsuited  for  an  entertainment,  a  public  reception  was 
given  in  the  Library  room.  The  guests  having  assembled, 
they  were  formed  in  two  concentric  circles  after  pairing  off, 
and  put  in  motion  in  opposite  directions.  Round  and  round 
they  went,  refreshed  from  time  to  time  with  copious 
draughts  of  lemonade  until  the    limit    of  human  endurance 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  89 

was  reached.  Then  bidding  good  night  to  their  host,  who 
was  really  delighted  with  the  success  of  the  experiment,  the 
company  took  their  leave. 

A  reorganization  of  the  faculty  resulted  in  the  later  resig- 
nation of  Professor  W.  Leroy  Broun,  who  was  succeeded 
hy  Montgomery  dimming,  a  first  honor  man  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Toronto  and    winner  of  the  Prince  of  Wales'  prize. 

Professor  Charles  Morris  also  resigned  at  the  same  time. 

The  plan  of  reorganization  declared  the  chancellor's  office 
to  be  one  of  honor  and  distinction  without  salary.  It  was 
his  dut\-  to  preside  at  commencement  and  to  confer  degrees, 
the  faculty  being  left  to  select  its  own  chairman.  This 
much  of  the  plan,  however,  was  repealed  soon  after  to  the 
extent  of  making  the  chancellor  also  a  professor  as  he  had 
always  been. 

During  the  three  years  of  Dr.  Tucker's  administration,  the 
roll  of  matriculates  steadily  diminished  from  266  in  the 
year  of  Dr.  Lipscomb's  resignation  to  229,203,  161,  116. 
Dr.  Tucker  attributed  the  decline  to  the  continued  changes 
in  management  in  the  University  and  the  utter  unfitness  of 
the  University  system,  as  adopted,  to  the  class  of  immature 
students  who  attend  our  colleges.  Besides  that,  he  inveighed 
against  the  low  standard  of  scholarship  established  by  the 
faculty  and  charged  that  no  student  was  refused  admis- 
sion to  any  class  on  account  of  low  scholarship.  To  the  cor- 
rection of  these  evils,  he  suggested  as  an  additional  remedy — 
free  tuition  to  all. 

Whatever  were  the  true  causes  of  the  decline,  the  responsi- 
bility of  the  chancellor,  justW  or  unjustly,  was  not  ques- 
tioned, and  the  trustees  cut  the  Gordian  knot  by  asking  for 
his  resignation.  The  failure  of  Chancellor  Tucker's  admin- 
istration should  not  be  visited  too  severely  upon  him. 
Doubtless  he  had  not  the  quality  of  mind  nor  the  power  of 
execution  that  make  the  ideal  college  president,  and  even 
with  the  most  favorable  surroundings  he  would  not  have  suc- 
ceeded in  that  office.  But  there  were  antagonisms  to  Dr. 
Tucker  in  the   faculty,  and  influences  constantly  at  work  to

•undermine  his  strength  and  negative  his  efforts  to  advance 
the  standard  of  the  University.  Against  such  odds  success 
was  impossible  and  his  own  retirement  only  a  matter  of 
time. 

Henry  Holcombe  Tucker  was  born  in  Warren  county, 
Georgia,  May  10,  1819.  His  widowed  mother  marrying 
a  second  time,  removed  to  Philadelphia  in  his  childhood, 
and  there  he  lived  until  his  nineteenth  year.  He  entered  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  but  graduated  at  Columbian 
College,  in  Washington  City,  in  1838.  For  a  few  years  he 
engaged  in  mercantile  business  in  Charleston,  then  studied 
law,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Forsyth,  Ga.,  prac- 
ticing until  1848.  The  knowledge  of  the  practical  business 
of  life  which  he  acquired  during  that  decade  was  of  great 
advantage  to  him  in  after  life. 

The  death  of  his  wife,  within  a  year  after  her  marriage, 
brought  the  conviction  to  Dr.  Tucker's  mind  that  he  ought 
to  preach  the  gospel.  He  accordingly  studied  for  the 
ministry  under  the  venerable  Dr.  Dagg  at  Mercer;  but  ur- 
gent invitations  to  engage  in  teaching  diverted  him  from 
the  active  ministry.  He  taught  in  the  Southern  Female 
College  at  LaGrange,  and  in  1853,  was  offered  the  presi- 
dency of  Wake  Forest  College  in  North  Carolina,  which  he 
declined,  to  accept  the  pastorate  of  the  Baptist  church  in 
Alexandria,  Ya.  Here  he  married  Miss  Stevens,  the  excel- 
lent lady  who  survives  him. 

In  1856,  Dr.  Tucker  went  to  Mercer,  taking  the  chair  of 
belles-lettres  and  metaphysics,  which  he  held  until  the  ex- 
ercises were  closed  by  the  war. 

During  the  war,  Dr.  Tucker  was  active  in  every  move- 
ment to  alleviate  the  sufferings  of  the  people.  He  was  the 
founder  of  the  Georgia  Relief  and  Hospital  Association, 
which  carried  aid  and  comfort  to  thousands  of  sick  and 
wounded  soldiers,  and  he  freely  spent  his  time  and  money 
in  helping  the  destitute. 

On  the  re-organization  of  Mercer  University  in  1866,  Dr. 
Tucker    was  chosen  its   president.     During  his   incumbency 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  91 

the  college   was  removed   from    Penfield  to  Macon,  largely 
through  his  influence. 

Resigning  in  1871,  be  went  abroad,  traveling  in  Europe 
with  his  family  a  year  or  more.  During  a  visit  to  Rome, 
he  organized  a  Baptist  church,  and  baptized  a  man  in  the 
river  Tiber,  probably  the  first  event  of  the  kind  which  had 
occurred  there  for  fifteen  centuries. 

To  one  trait  of  character  Dr.  Tucker  doubtless  owed  much 
of  the  failure  of  his  administration  as  chancellor  at  Ath 
ens.  That  was  his  utter  lack  of  policy.  He  was  a  thor- 
oughly honest  man,  and  hated  shams  of  every  description. 
He  called  a  spade  a  spade,  and  went  straight  at  everything 
with  a  directness  that  fairly  shocked  some  people.  His 
treatment  of  the  students  was  fair  and  open.  He  never 
locked  his  room  door  nor  his  desk.  Yet  during  his  absence 
nothing  was  ever  disturbed.  On  one  occasion  a  number  of 
Baptist  ministers,  passing  through  Athens  on  their  way  to 
a  state  convention,  had  to  lie  over  a  night.  One  of  the 
resident  Baptists,  an  influential  man,  suggested  that  they  be 
entertained  at  the  homes  of  the  people,  and  asked  Dr.  Tucker 
how  many  he  would  take.  "None,  sir,"  said  he.  'T  don't 
want  them  bringing  dirt  into  my  house.  Put  as  many  as 
you  think  I  ought  to  take  at  the  hotel  and  I  will  pay  the 
bill." 

He  said  once  that  he  didn't  like  the  Baptists  anyhow,  and 
the  Baptists  didn't  like  him  ;  bnt  he  never  wavered  in  up- 
holding the  doctrines  of  his  church.  He  made  many  ene- 
mies among  that  denomination  while  he  was  president  of 
Mercer,  and  the  falling  off  in  the  students  here  while  he  was 
chancellor  was  chiefly  in  that  class  of  patronage. 

Dr.  Tucker  once  said,  after  his  resignation  :  "The  trustees 
thought  I  couldn't  run  the  college,  but  they  adopted  all  my 
recommendations."  This  was  quite  true,  for  they  abolished 
the  University  system,  returning  to  the  curricula  with  the 
various  courses  each  leading  to  its  degree;  the}'  urged  that 
the  standard  of  scholarship  be  raised;  they  made  the  chan- 
cellor alone  responsible  for  the  discipline  of  the  college,  and 
finally,  thev  made  tuition  free. 


<)2  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

Dr.  Tucker  was  a  great  preacher.  His  thoughts  were 
original,  his  expressions  clear  cut  and  quaint,  and  his  de- 
livery forcible.  It  was  a  treat  to  hear  him.  There  was  a 
crispness  about  his  preaching  as  refreshing  as  the  air  of  an 
autumn  morning.  His  mind  was  very  active,  and  he  was 
quick  as  a  flash  at  repartee.  In  his  home  he  was  a  charm- 
ing host,  and  his  charity  to  the  needy  was  boundless.  None 
but  he  knew  how  helpful  he  was  to  the  poor. 

After  his  retirement  from  the  University,  Dr.  Tucker  went 
Atlanta,  where  he  lived,  the  editor  and  proprietor  of  the 
Christian  Index.  He  died  September  9, 1889,  from  the  effects, 
of  a  fall  from  the  window  of  his  house,  after  lingering  a 
few  days  in  unconsciousness. 

William  LeRoy  Broun  was  one  of  the  ablest  men  who 
had  ever  been  connected  with  the  University.  He  was  not 
only  a  close  student  and  exact  in  his  store  of  knowledge,  but 
a  broad-minded,  liberal  man.  He  conscientiously  endeavored 
to  enlarge  the  sphere  of  the  University  and  increase  its  ca- 
pacity for  usefulness.  It  was  the  divergence  of  their  views, 
though  both  aimed  at  the  same  result,  that  brought  on  the 
separation  between  him  and  Dr.  Church  in  1856. 

As  president  of  the  State  College  of  Agriculture,  Professor 
Broun  desired  to  extend  the  work  of  that  branch  of  the 
University,  and  required  all  the  land-scrip  fund  to  accom- 
plish it.  He  disapproved  of  the  policy  the  trustees  had 
adopted  of  scattering  that  fund  among  the  branch  colleges, 
and  in  a  public  address  unfortunately  charged  them  wTith 
misappropriating  it.  Though  he  did  not  intend  the  remark 
in  an  offensive  sense,  it  did  give  great  offense,  and  at  the 
ensuing  meeting  of  the' board,  their  disapprobation  of  his 
course  was  expressed  in  the  strongest  terms.  Professor 
Broun,  conceiving  his  opportunity  for  usefulness  to  be  at 
an  end,  resigned. 

"Little  Bruin,"  as  the  boys  called  him,  was  a  well-known 
figure  at  Athens.  Short  of  stature,  with  an  immense  head 
and  large,  projecting  forehead,  his  personnel  was  peculiarly 
his  own.

Chancellor  Mell — Colonel  Charles  C.  .Jones— Professor  William  Henry 
Waddell — Agricultural  Trustees — Branch  Colleges — Free  Tuition — 
The  Funding  Law — Chancellor  Mell's  Administration. 

1878-1881. 

Rev.  Patrick  H.  Mell,  D.  D.,  was  elected  by  the  board  to 
succeed  Chancellor  Tucker. 

Colonel  Charles  C.  Jones,  Jr.,  was  elected  Professor  of 
natural  philosophy  and  astronomy  vice  Montgomery  Cum- 
ming,  resigned. 

What  the  appropriateness  of  this  appointment  noonecould 
ever  perceive.  Colonel  Jones,  an  eminent  historian,  a  ripe 
scholar  and  a  learned  gentleman,  would  have  graced  other 
chairs  in  the  University,  but  for  this  he  had  no  fitness  by 
previous  training.  None  knew  this  better  than  he,  and  he 
promptly  declined  the  honor.  Professor  Charbonnier  was 
assigned  to  the  chair,  which  he  still  occupies  with  so  much 
ability.  The  new  chair  of  natural  history  and  geology 
was  filled  by  the  appointment  of  Professor  George  Little, 
who  retained  it,  however,  but  a  short  time. 

The  opening  session  of  Chancellor  Mell's  administration 
was  marked  by  a  luss  as  serious  as  any  the  University  had 
ever  sustained— the  untimely  death  of  Professor  Waddell. 

William  Henry  Waddell  inherited  all  the  ability  as  a 
teacher  which  his  father  and  grandfather  had  acquired 
through  years  of  experience.  Graduating  with  the  tirst 
honor  in  1852,  he  taught  a  year  in  a  Mississippi  school. 
Elected  tutor  in  the  University,  he  entered  the  faculty,  of 
which ,  he  remained  a  member  until  his  death .  A  close  s  tudent 
and  a  finished  scholar,  Professor  Waddell  added  to  these 
gifts  the  power  to  interest  and  enthuse,  which  never  failed  to 
make  its  impress  upon  his  pupils.  Cordial  in  manner,  strict 
without  severity,  honest  and  just,  the  student  felt  safe  in  his 
hands  and  it  is  doubtful  if  he  ever  made  an  enemy  among 
all  who  came  under  his  instruction. 


I  NIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  95 

Professor  Waddell  was  Lall  and  moved  rapidly  and  un- 
gracefully.    When  he  walked  he  strode,  swinging  his  arms 

at  length,  and  bis  entree  into  church  always  excited  a 
smile.  He  was  a  deeply  religious  man,  a  ruling  elder  in  the 
Presbyterian  church,  and  latterly  licensed  to  preach.  He  had 
a  habit  while  walking  along  the  street  of  raising  his  hat  ;is 
if  in  courtesy  to  some  lady.  Often  no  one  being  near,  his 
friends  were  curious  to  know  what  it  meant.  In  some  way 
it  was  found  out  that  it  was  an  act  of  devotion  while  he 
offered  a  silent  prayer. 

Like  Mr.  Wegg,  Mr.  Waddell  occasionally  "dropped  into 
poetry,"  nor  did  he  woo  the  muse  in  vain.  The  following 
lines,  written  by  him,  Dr.  Lipscomb  pronounced  among 
the  best  he  had  ever  read  : 

REGKET. 

o  current  <>r  life, 

Willi  thy  jarring  and  strife. 

Thy  hanks  were  once  curtained  with  drapery  bright ; 

But  the  stream  of  my  hours. 

Has  forsaken  the  Mowers 

And  wanders  alone  through  the  blackness  of  night. 

()  river  of  years 

Fast  flowing  with  tear-. 

The  zephyrs  of  Eden  once  sang  to  thy  waves  : 

Xow  the  winter  wind  roars 

On  thy  desolate  shores 

While  thy  shadowy  depths  are  hut  merciless  graves. 

Still  On,  ever  on, 

Thy  wafers  roll  down 

To  the  sunless  retreats  of  eternity*.-  sea  : 

Where  the  waves  of  the  deep 

Their  dark  vigils  keep, 

And  murmur  no  more  o'er  the  land  or  the  lea. 

Professor  Waddell  was  married  to  Mrs.  Tew,  a  daughter 
of  Colonel  A.  V.  Brumby,  of  Atlanta,  who  accompanied  him 
to  Europe  on  a  visit  in  1872. 

He  died  suddenly  in  September,  1878,  at  Milford,  Va.,  on 
his  way  home  from  Baltimore,  the  victim  of  a  painful  dis- 
order. 


96  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

Mr.  Waddell,  as  one  remarked  at  the  time,  touched  at 
many  points.  In  the  college,  in  the  church,  in  the  com- 
munity, and  in  society,  his  loss  was  felt  to  be  irreparable.  Nor 
has  his  place  yet  been  filled. 

In  1878,  a  proposition  was  made  to  have  four  additional 
trustees  appointed  from  the  Georgia  State  Agricultural 
Society,  in  which  the  board  refused  to  acquiesce.  Two 
years  later,  however,  a  bill  was  passed  by  the  Legislature 
which  provided  for  that  addition  and  the  gentlemen  elected 
by  the  Society,  Messrs.  W.  H.  Felton,  J.  H.  Fannin,  L.  F. 
Livingston  and  S.  M.  H.  Bird,  took  their  seats  with  the 
board. 

There  was  no  more  reason  why  the  Agricultural  Society 
should  be  represented  in  the  board  of  trustees  of  the  Uni- 
versity than  that  the  Independent  Order  of  Odd  Fellows 
should,  or  the  Georgia  Railroad  and  Banking  Company. 
Every  citizen  of  the  State  has  an  equal  interest  in  the  insti- 
tution and  its  trustees  are  not  supposed  to  "represent  inter- 
ests," but  to  exercise  wisdom  and  discretion  in  the  manage- 
ment of  its  affairs  and  in  the  fulfillment  of  its  purposes. 
There  was,  however,  a  growing  belief  among  a  certain  class 
of  so-called  farmers  that  the  land-scrip  fund  was  "our" 
money  and  the  new  law  was  an  invitation  to  them  to  send  a 
committee  to  watch  its  expenditure. 

It  is  but  just  to  say  that  some  of  these  agricultural  trus- 
tees were  earnest  men  and  sincere  friends  of  the  University 
and  by  their  conservative  counsels  aided  its  growth  and 
prosperity.  The  year  1878  witnessed  also  the  expansion  of 
the  branch  college  system.  The  school  at  Dahlonega  had 
previously  been  incorporated  into  the  University  and  was 
receiving  annually  $2,000  from  the  land-scrip  fund  for  its 
support.  Now  schools  at  Milledgeville,  Cuthbert,  Thomas- 
ville  and  later  at  Hamilton,  came  forward  with  offers  of 
land  and  houses,  asking  that  they,  too,  be  adopted  into  the 
family.  This  was  cheerfully  done  by  the  accommodating 
board,  and  each  got  a  slice  of  the  land-scrip  fund  until  it  be- 
came evident  that  the  mother  institution  was  feeding  her 
adopted  children  at  the  risk  of  starving  herself. 


INIVKK-ITV    OF   GEORGIA.  97 

The  theory  of  the  branch  college  idea  was  that  they  wo  did 
become  feeders  to  the  University,  sending  their  graduates  to 
us  to  take  advanced  or  special  courses  in  the  completion  of 
their  education.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  they  became  not  feed- 
ers, but  competitors.  Chancellor  Mell  complained  of  this  and 
stated  that  of  160  students,  only  five  were  from  the  branch 
colleges.  It  is  doubtful — the  figures  are  not  at  hand — if  so 
many  as  fifty,  all  told,  have  come  from  those  schools  to  the 
University  in  the  fifteen  years  of  their  connection  writh  it. 

The  growing  conviction  in  the  minds  of  the  trustees  of  the 
injury  done  the  University  by  this  course  resulted  in  the 
withdrawal  of  financial  aid  from  all  excepting  Dahlonega, 
followed  by  a  total  divorce  from  Cuthbert  and,  practically,  a 
separation  from  the  others. 

Much  confusion  and  no  little  dissatisfaction  resulted  from 
the  varied  rates  of  tuition  charges  which  had  existed  since 
the  organization  of  the  State  College. 

Under  the  contract  with  Governor  Smith,  a  certain  number 
of  students  were  to  be  admitted  free,  while  others  were 
charged  a  fixed  sum  in  that  college.  A  higher  sum  was 
charged  in  Franklin  College.  There  were  certain  free  schol- 
arships granted  to  the  city  of  Athens  and  there  were  still 
other  conditions  under  wbich  a  student's  charges  were  re- 
mitted. In  spite  of  the  higher  charges  in  Franklin  College, 
however,  more  students  were  registered  in  that  than  in  the 
State  College,  doubtless,  because  the  student  preferred  the 
course  whose  degree  wrould  be  of  most  value  to  him  after 
graduation. 

At  this  stage  of  affairs,  the  subject  of  free  tuition  was  con- 
sidered by  the  board.  Approximate  estimates  showed  that 
by  charging  a  matriculation  fee  of  ten  dollars  for  each  stu- 
dent, the  income  of  the  University  would  authorize  free  tui- 
tion with  the  aid  from  the  State  of  $2,000  for  one  year  to 
offset  the  tuition  fees  then  received.  But  some  of  the  bonds 
in  which  certain  funds  arising  from  the  sale  of  lots  had  been 
invested,  were  about  to  become*  due.  Unless  these  funds 
could  be  reinvested  at  the  same  rate  of  interest  and  that  in- 


98  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

teres!  be  permanent,  the  trustees  were  not  assured  that  the 
plan  could  be  adopted. 

The  whole  matter  was  presented  to  the  Legislature 
through  a  committee  of  the  board  and  a  statement  of  the 
facts  made,  which  resulted  in  the  Act  of  September  26, 1881. 

This  act,  "To  enable  the  trustees  of  the  University  of 
Georgia  to  inaugurate  a  system  of  free  tuition  in  that  insti- 
tution;" also  provides  that  whenever  the  University  shall 
present  any  of  its  valid  matured  bonds  of  the  State  to  the 
treasury,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  governor  to  issue  to  the 
trustees  in  lieu  of  those  matured  bonds,  an  obligation  in 
writing,  in  the  nature  of  a  bond,  in  an  amount  equal  to  the 
principal  of  the  matured  bonds  and  falling  due  fifty  years 
from  the  date  of  issue,  bearing  interest  at  the  rate  of  seven 
per  cent,  per  annum  and  not  redeemable  by  the  State  before 
that  time,  nor  negotiable,  nor  transferable  by  the  trustees. 

After  the  passage  of  this  act,  tuition  was  made  free  in  all 
the  academic  schools  of  the  University.  In  addition  to  the 
matriculation  fee,  a  charge  of  five  dollars  for  each  student 
is  made  for  the  support  and  enlargement  of  the  library.  The 
operation  of  this  law  does  not  extend  to  the  law  and 
medical  schools.  Those  are  professional  schools,  the  fees  of 
which  do  not  go  into  the  treasury  of  the  college,  but  to  the 
professors  who  teach  therein. 

Prior    to  the  execution  of    the  contract  with   Governor 

Smith,  there  had  been  intermittent  action  providing  for  free 
tuition  to  certain  classes.  In  1830,  the  poor  school  commis- 
sioners of  each  county  were  allowed  to  send  a  student  to 
college  for  four  years  without  charge.  Sons  of  ministers 
of  the  gospel  and  young  men  preparing  for  the  minist^ 
were  admitted  free  if  unable  to  pay  their  tuition.  Maimed 
Confederate  soldiers  were  provided  for  by  special  legisla- 
tion; and  in  1868,  fifty  free  scholarships  were  opened  to 
young  men  upon  their  merits  without  regard  to  their  pecu- 
niary condition. 

Chancellor  M  ell's  administration  was  a  decade  of  prosper- 
ity to  the  University.     He  brought  to  the  office  long  experi- 


UNIVERSITY   OF  GEORGIA.  99 

ence  as  a  college  professor,  strong  convictions  of  duty,  a 
well-digested  policy  and  the  confidence  of  the  powerful  re- 
jigious  denomination  to  which  he  belonged.  He  at  once  set 
to  work  to  gain  more  students,  and  to  that  end,  his  efforts 
never  flagged.  Indeed,  it  was  charged  that  he  measured  the 
success  of  his  administration  by  the  number  of  matricu- 
lates, and  that  violations  of  the  laws  were  overlooked 
rather  than  dismiss  the  offenders.  Be  that  as  it  may, 
the  attendance  increased  from  116  in  the  year  of  his  inau- 
guration to  216  in  the  year  of  his  death.  Dr.  Mell  had 
to  contend,  as  he  said  in  one  of  his  reports,  with  the  most 
ungenerous  competition  of  other  colleges. 

''Attacks  are  made  on  us,"  said  he,  "not  only  in  private 
circles,  but  from  the  pulpits  in  all  sections  of  the  common- 
wealth. Our  scholarship  is  disparaged;  infidelity  and  irre- 
ligion  are  charged  against  us.  Most  exaggerated  accounts 
are  given  of  extravagant  living,  and  parents  are  made  to 
believe  that  immorality  and  vice  reign  rampant  here." 
Against  this  and  other  difficulties,  the  Chancellor  set  his 
face  steadfastly  to  carry  out  the  policy  he  had  adopted. 

He  believed  it  was  better  to  find  out  what  mischief  a  stu- 
dent was  contemplating,  and  prevent  its  execution,  than  to 
wait  until  the  deed  was  done  and  then  administer  punish- 
ment. He  used  every  means  to  maintain  good  order.  The 
citizens  were  brought  to  co-operate  with  the  faculty  and 
the  faculty  with  the  chancellor.  The  Greek  letter  fraterni- 
ties wrere  encouraged  to  influence  their  members,  and  the 
non-fraternity  men  were  invited  to  co-operate  with  the  pro- 
fessors in  controlling  their  classes.  The  college  dormitories 
were  converted  into  boarding  houses — Old  College,  under 
the  fatherly  care  of  Mr.  Peter  A.  Summey,  and  New  College 
under  Mr.  Richardson  — and  efforts  wrere  made  to  give  a 
semblance  of  home  to  those  uninviting  walls.  This  last 
was  a  compromise  between  the  chancellor  and  trustees.  Dr. 
Mell  bitterly  opposed  the  dormitory  system.  He  regarded 
it  as  an  open  bid  for  noise  and  disorder  and  idleness.  He 
recommended  their  utter  abolition  and  the  scattering  of  the 


100  HISTORICAL   SKETCH 

students  amongjthe  various  homes  and  boarding  houses   of 
the  town. 

But  the  board  did  not  see  its  way  to  abandon  its  only 
means  of  furnishing  cheap  board,  and  the  college  boarding 
house  was  the  outcome.  It  served  a  purpose,  but  its  influ- 
ence was  neither  educative  nor  refining.  Cheap  board  meant 
poor  food,  and  the  "Summey  House  biscuit"  was  a  dyspep- 
tic germ  when  fresh  and  a  dangerous  projectile  when  stale.

The    McCay     Donation — The     Charles     McDonald     Brown    Fund — The 
Terrell  Donation — other  Donations  and  Bequests. 

1879-1882. 

In  1879,  it  was  stated  to  the  trustees  that  a  friend  of  the 
Uriversity  desired  to  make  a  donation  for  its  benefit  with  a 
view  that  it  should  be  kept  at  compound  interest  for  a  given 
time  before  being  used.  The  board  declared  its  willingness 
to  accept  it  upon  the  conditions  named. 

The  friend  referred  to  was  Mr.  Charles  F.  McCa}r,  former- 
ly professor  of  mathematics,  but  who,  after  leaving  the  pro- 
fession of  teaching,  became  the  leading  actuary  for  insur- 
ance companies  in  America.  No  doubt  Mr.  McCay 's  occupa- 
tion had  led  him  to  figure  on  the  possibilities  of  a  fund  put 
at  compound  interest,  and  the  donation  was  made  in  conse- 
quence. 

The  deed  of  gift  is  as  follows  : 

The  Charles  F.  McCay  Donation. 
City  of  Baltimore,  State  of  Maryland: 

Know  all  men  by  these  presents,  that  I,  Charles  F.  McCay,

Georgia,  located  at  Athens,  Georgia,  with  which  I  was  con- 
nected for  twenty  }-ears,  from  1833  to  A.  D.  1853,  and  of 
the  sum  of  Ten  Dollars  to  me  in  hand  paid  by  the  trustees  of

the  Georgia  and  the  Central  Railroad  Companies  of  Georgia, 
upon  the  following  trusts  and  limitations: 


ICte  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

First.  That  the  trustees  of  the  University  of  Georgia 
shall  hold  and  safely  keep  said  bonds  until  they  shall  mature, 
and  not  permit  the  principal  or  interest  thereof  to  be  used  in 
any  manner  or  for  any  purpose  different  from  the  donations 
and  trusts  hereinafter  specified.

when  received,  and  the  principal  when  collected,  in  bonds  of 
the  State  of  Georgia,  or  in  bonds  of  the  Georgia  and  Central 
Railroad  and  Banking  Companies  or  of  the  cities  of  Augus- 
ta, Atlanta  and  Savannah,  Georgia,  and  shall  continue  to 
reinvest  the  interest  as  received  on  said  bonds  and  the  prin- 
cipal when  collected  (and  the  dividends  on  said  stocks)  so 
that  the  same  shall  be  compounded  annually,  or  semi-annually 
if  practicable,  without  any  diminution  of  any  part  thereof 
for  any  other  uses  than  such  reinvestment  and  accumulation 
of  interest,  principal  and  dividends  until  the  expiration  of 
the  term  of  twenty-one  years  after  the  death  of  all  the  fol- 
lowing named  persons,  viz. : 

Mary  M.  Buchanan,  my  granddaughter; 

George  Read  McCay  and  Emma  Thornton  McCay,  grand- 
children of  my  brother  Isaiah  ;

And  after  the  lapse  of  the  said  time,  the  said  trustees  shall 
continue  to  keep  the  aggregate  sum  so  accumulated  on  the

shall  use  the  interest  or  dividends  therefrom  for  the  payment 
of  the  salaries  of  professors  or  lecturers  in  the  University  of 
Georgia,  residing  in  Athens,  Ga.,  where  the  University  is  lo-

In  presence  of  P.  G.  Wallace. 

Some  years  later,  by  mutual  consent,  the  bonds  delivered  to 
the  trustees  were  exchanged  by  Mr.  McCay  for  State  of 
Georgia  bonds  of  the  face  value  of  $15,000. 

It  is  estimated  that  about  one  hundred  years  will  have  ex- 
pired before  the  interest  of  this  fund  can  be  available  under 
the  trust.  In  that  time,  if  no  disaster  befall,  the  fund  will 
have  amounted  to  about  $10,000,000,  and  the  University 
will  have  an  income  from  that  source  of  $500,000,  with 
which  to  pay  the  salaries  of  its  professors. 

Would  that  some  calculating  friend  had  in  its  early  infan- 
cy thus  endowed  the  college. 

In  1882,  the  University  was  the  recipient  of  another  dona- 
tion more  immediately  useful,  but  in  a  different  way— the 
Charles  McDonald  Brown  Scholarship  Fund. 

The  following  letter  from  Governor  Brown  explains  fully 
its  objects :

Charles  McDonald  Brown  Scholarship  Fund 


LETTER    OE    GOVERNOR  BROWN. 


Athens,  Ga.,  July  15th,  1882. 
To  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the    University  of  Georgia: 

Gentlemen — I  have  had  the  honor  to  hold  the  position  of 
trustee  and  member  of  your  Board  for  over  a  -quarter  of  a 
century.  During  all  this  time  I  have  felt  great  interest  in 
the  success  and  prosperity  of    the  University. 

It  has  long  been  my  wish  to  do  something  which  may 
afford  substantial  aid  to  it,  and  result  in  permanent  future 
good  to  the  people  of  this  State,  who  have  so  long  sus- 
tained and  honored  me.  I  am  now  in  better  condition  to 
carry  out  this  cherished  object  than  I  have  been  at  any 
time  since  my  connection  with  the  Board. 

Nearly  one  year  ago,  my  son,  Charles  McDonald  Brown, 
a  noble  Christian  youth,  of  fine  intellectual  and  business 
capacity,  the  soul  of  honor  and  integrity,  who  had  been  a 
student  in  the  University,  was  taken  from  us  by  death.  He 
was  named  for  my  true  and  cherished  friend,  the  late  Gov- 
ernor Charles  J.  McDonald.  He  was  possessed  of  some 
estate,  the  bulk  of  which  he  left  to  me  and  his  mother,  giv- 
ing small  sums  to  each  of  his  brothers  and  sisters,  in 
token  of  his  love  and  affectionate  regard  for  them.  He  had 
bright  prospects,  and  if  he  had  lived,  might  reasonably 
have  expected,  at  no  distant  day,  at  my  death,  to  go  into 
the  possession  of  considerable  addition  to  his  estate. 

Now,  while  it  is  my  object  to  do  something  that  will  ad- 
vance the  interests  of  the  University,  and  aid,  to  some  useful 
extent,  in  the  education  of  worthy  young  men  of  the  State, 
who  are  not  able  to  educate  themselves,  I  desire,  at  the  same 
time,  to  perpetuate  the  name  of  my  said  deceased  son  in 
connection  with  the  University,  and  also  that  of  my  old 
friend,  Governor  McDonald,  whose  name  he  bore.  As  a 
means  of  doing  this,  I  propose,  with  your  consent,  and  upon 
the  terms   and  conditions  hereinafter  mentioned,   to  make 


UNIVERSITY    OF  GEORGIA.  105 

a   donation  to  the  University  Of    Fifty  Thousand   Dollars, 
money  that   might  have  been  possessed  by  my  son  if   he  had 

lived— to  be  known  and  in  all  appropriate  publications  made 
by  the  University  designated  as  the 

"CHARLES    ^'DONALD  BROWN  SCHOLARSHIP  FUND." 

This  donation  to  be  made  on  condition  that  the  State  of 
Georgia  will  receive  the  said  sum  (which  I  will  pay  in  cash) 
into  her  treasury,  to  be  used  in  payment  of  the  public  debt, 
or  in  such  other  manner  as  may  be  for  the  best  interest  of 
the  State,  and  will  issue  her  bond,  or  bonds,  to  the  Univer- 
sity, bearing  7  per  cent,  interest,  the  interest  to  be  paid 
semi-annually  to  the  University,  the  bond  or  obligation  to 
run  for  fifty  years.  At  the  last  session  the  General  Assembfy 
passed  an  act  to  make  permanent  the  income  of  the  Univer- 
sity, which  provides,  in  substance,  that  whenever  the  trus- 
tees of  the  University  of  Georgia  shall,  through  their  duly  au- 
thorized agent  or  officer,  present  at  the  State  treasury,  for 
redemption,  any  valid  matured  bond  of  the  State,  as  the 
property  of  the  University,  that  the  Governor  shall  issue  to 
the  trustees  in  lieu  of  said  matured  bond,  an  obligation  in 
writing  in  the  nature  of  a  bond,  in  an  amount  equal  to  said 
matured  bond,  falling  due  fifty  years  after  date  of  such 
issue,  the  same  to  bear  interest  at  the  rate  of  7  oer  cent,  per 
annum,  and  not  to  be  subject  to  be  called  in  for  redemption 
by  the  State  before  the  time;  not  to  be  negotiable  by  the 
trustees,  but  payable  to  them  alone,  to  be  issued  under  the 
great  seal  of  the  State,  signed  by  the  Governor,  and  coun- 
tersigned by  the  Secretary  of  State. 

All  I  ask  is  that  the  State  treat  the  amount  which  I  pro- 
pose to  donate  to  the  University  just  as  she  would  treat  any 
other  amount  of  money  which  may  be  the  property  of  the 
University,  due  at  the  maturity  of  any  bond  or  bonds  of  the 
State,  belonging  to  the  University.  I  have  long  thought  it 
the  duty  of  the  State  to  endow  the  University  liberally,  and 
believe  that  wise  statesmanship  and  sound  policy  dic- 
tated such  a  course.  While  the  representatives  of  the  people 
have  not  yet  done  what,  it  seems  to  me,  would  be  wise  in 
this  particular,  they  have  shown  a  disposition  to  make  per- 


106  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

manent  the  endowment  which  the  University  possesses,  and 
I  think  it  would  be  only  a  reasonable  extension  of  this  law 
to  make  it  apply  to  all  funds  that  may  be  donated  to  the 
University,  as  well  as  funds  belonging  to  the  University  in 
maturing  bonds. 

I  cannot  doubt  that  the  Legislature  will  see  the  wisdom 
and  propriety  of  doing  this,  and  I,  therefore,  make  the  dona- 
tion conditional  upon  the  passage  of  an  act  to  carry  out 
this  object,  in  accordance  with  the  rule  above  mentioned,  at 
the  next  session  of  the  General  Assembly,  and  upon  the 
further  condition,  that  the  fund  shall  be  used  for  the  pur- 
poses and  in  the  manner  hereinafter  mentioned. 

There  are  hundreds,  and  I  believe  thousands,  of  young 
men  of  good  character  in  Georgia,  who  are  intellectual  and 
ambitious  to  become  useful,  who  desire  to  obtain  a  liberal 
education ;  some  with  a  view  to  the  prof ession  of  law,  others 
the  practice  of  medicine;  some  for  the  gospel  ministry, 
some  engineers,  architects,  chemists,  teachers,  professors  in 
colleges,  and  other  useful  and  honorable  pursuits ;  some  of 
whom  have  at  their  command  part  of  the  means  neces- 
sary to  board  and  clothe  them  while  engaged  in  the  pur- 
suit of  their  studies,  in  connection  with  the  University. 
Other  young  men  may  be  very  bright  and  very  worthy, 
w^ho  have  none  of  the  means  necessary  to  pay  for  board 
and  clothing  while  engaged  in  their  studies.  I  believe  there 
are  manj^  young  men  of  both  classes  mentioned  who  would 
consider  it  their  good  fortune  to"  be  able  to  borrow,  at  a 
reasonable  rate  of  interest,  a  sufficient  amount  to  carry 
them  through  college  or  to  enable  them  to  graduate  in  the 
particular  profession  or  pursuit  which  they  intend  to  follow, 
and  who  would  be  willing,  after  they  had  obtained  an  edu- 
cation and  prepared  themselves  for  business,  to  refund  the 
money  as  soon  as  they  could  make  it,  after  providing  for 
their  livelihood  in  an  economical  manner,  until  they  are  able 
to  pay  it. 

Such  a  young  man,  who  takes  a  proper  view  of  the  sub- 
ject, would  not  desire  to  incur  more  indebtedness  than  neces- 
sity required.     He  would  be  willing,  for  the  sake  of  obtain- 


UNIVERSITY    OF  GEORGIA.  107 

ingan  education,  to  wear  plain  clothing,  and  be  content  with 
cheap  board,  it"  it  was  really  good  and  wholesome. 

I  know  from  experience  in  early  life  the  feelings  of  a  youth, 
desirous  of  educating  himself  without  the  means  to  do  so, 
and  the  good  fortune  which  a  loan  of  money  for  support 
while  engaged  in  study  was  considered  as  conferring  upon 
the  recipient.  I  recollect  very  well,  too,  that  prudence  dic- 
tated an  economical  course  so  as  to  incur  no  more  indebted- 
ness than  was  absolutely  necessaiw.  I  preferred  to  live 
plainh- and  cheaply  and  study  hard,  ratherthan  be  too  much 
loaded  with  debt,  but  I  considered  myself  very  fortunate 
when  I  was  able  to  borrow7  the  amount  actually  necessary 
for  the  prosecution  of  my  studies,  even  to  a  limited  extent. 
And  I  doubt  not  there  are  at  this  time  large  numbers  of 
young  men  in  similar  situations,  who  are  prompted  by  the 
same  feelings.  The  object  of  this  donation  is  to  establish  a 
fund  in  the  hands  of  the  University,  the  interest  of  which  is 
to  be  loaned  to  young  men  of  the  character  I  mention. 

First.  To  aid  in  part,  such  young  men  as  may  have  some 
means,  but  not  sufficient  to  carry  them  through  the  course 
selected  by  them. 

Second.  To  aid  those  who  have  no  means,  but  who  are 
bright  and  worthy  and  ambitious  to  succeed.  I  desire  that 
the  University  do  this,  by  loaning  the  interest  which  may 
accrue  from  the  principal  each  year,  to  young  men  of  the 
classes  above  mentioned,  no  young  man  to  avail  himself  of 
the  benefit  of  the  fund  until  he  is  eighteen  years  of  age,  each 
to  sign  a  pledge  of  honor  when  he  enters  the  college  and  com- 
mences to  receive  the  fund,  that  he  will  refund  the  amount 
that  he  receives  to  the  University,  as  soon  after  he  completes 
his  course  of  study  as  he  may  be  able  to  make  it,  living  eco- 
nomically in  the  meantime,  and  as  this  obligation, given  dur- 
ing the  minority  of  the  student,  would  not  be  legally  binding, 
let  him  also  pledge  himself  that,  when  twenty-one  years  of 
age,  he  will  give  to  the  University  his  obligation,  legally 
binding  himself  for  the  payment  of  said  sum,  as  aforesaid, 
with  four  per  cent,  interest  per  annum  upon  the  same. 


108  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

As  each  will  incur  indebtedness  by  borrowing  the  means 
necessary  to  educate  himself,  each  will  become  more  self- 
reliant,  which  will  be  better  for  him  in  the  end,  if  he  is  man- 
ly and  possesses  talent,  than  if  the  amount  had  been  given 
to  him. 

And  as  tuition  is  now  free  in  the  University,  I  direct  that 
not  more  than  two  hundred  dollars  per  annnm  shall  be 
loaned  to  any  student,  to  be  advanced  to  him  monthly,  dur- 
ing the  scholastic  year,  but  interest  to  commence  to  run  on 
the  amount  advanced  each  year,  at  the  end  of  the  year. 
Having  no  tuition  to  pay,  a  young  man,  with  close  economy, 
may  be  able  to  get  along  upon  that  sum,  and  many  who 
have  part  of  the  means  necessary  will  not  desire  so  much. 

I  earnestly  urge  upon  each  recipient  of  the  fund,  the  im- 
portance of  paying  back  the  money  as  promptly  as  possible, 
and  I  trust  each  will  consider  it  a  sacred  obligation,  as  the 
payment  increases  the  amount  to  be  loaned  to  others  who 
will  be  anxious  to  receive  the  same  benefits  enjoyed  by  him- 
self. 

If  there  should  be  a  larger  number  of  promising  young 
men  to  apply  for  the  benefits  of  the  loan  than  can  be  accom- 
modated, then  I  direct  that  the  trustees  of  the  University 
provide  for  a  selection  of  recipients,  from  time  to  time,  in 
such  manner  as  in  their  judgment  may  be  most  fair  and 
equitable.  My  wish  is  that  they  be  selected  as  impartially 
as  may  be  from  all  parts  of  the  State,  so  that  each  section 
of  the  State  may  be  represented.  If  there  are  many  appli- 
cants, and  it  can  conveniently  be  done,  I  think  a  competitive 
examination  might  be  best,  but  there  will  no  doubt  be  many 
cases  where  this  cannot  be  had  without  difficulty  and  where 
the  young  man  is  very  bright  and  worthy,  in  which  case  the 
appointment  can  very  safely  be  made  without  a  competitive 
examination. 

I  wish  such  young  men  selected  as  are  bright,  of  good 
moral  character,  apt  to  learn,  in  reasonable  health  and  am- 
bitious, to  prepare  themselves  for  usefulness.  I  do  not  wish 
to  make  a  donation  to  students,  but  to  place  a  fund  in  the 


r.\i\  kksi TV    OF    GEORGIA.  109 

hands  of  the  University,  which  it  will  loan  them  in  aid  of 
their  education,  to  be  paid  back  by  them  as  aforesaid. 

I  desire  the  amount  paid  by  each  student,  in  return  for  the 
money  he  has  received,  to  be  added  annually, as  it  is  paid  in, 
to  the  principal  sum  above  mentioned,  and  only  the  interest 
upon  it  to  be  loaned  in  future,  which  will  enable  the  Univer- 
sity, from  time  to  time,  to  increase  the  number  of  young 
men  to  whom  it  can  make  loans.  This  will  ultimately  in- 
crease the  amount  of  principal,  which  in  course  of  time,  if 
properly  managed,  will  grow  to  a  large  sum. 

I  trust  the  Legislature  of  our  noble  old  State  will  make 
provision  for  receiving  this  accumulation  into  the  treasuiw, 
from  time  to  time,  and  issue  its  bonds  to  the  University  in 
lieu  of  it,  as  the  fund  may  accumulate.  But  if,  contrary  to 
my  desire  and  expectation,  the  State,  after  having  given  its 
obligation  for  the  principal  sum  of  the  donation  above 
mentioned,  shall  at  any  time  refuse  to  issue  its  bonds  for  the 
accumulated  sum  in  aid  of  the  University,  or  shall  at  the 
end  of  fifty  years,  refuse  to  issue  its  bond  or  obligation  for 
the  principal  sum  of  fifty  thousand  dollars,  and  shall  pay  the 
same  over  to  the  University,  then  the  board  of  trustees  may 
in  each  or  either  of  said  cases,  invest  such  fund  as  may  ac- 
cumulate in  the  bonds  of  the  United  States  or  of  other 
States. 

The  general  provisions  above  mentioned  are  subject  to  the 
following  qualifications : 

I  desire  that  the  sum  of  one  thousand  dollars,  interest  ac- 
cruing annually  from  the  said  principal  sum  of  fifty  thou- 
sand dollars,  as  above  mentioned,  be  used  by  the  board  of 
trustees  aforesaid,  to  aid  young  men  to  pursue  their  studies 
in  the  North  Georgia  Agricultural  College,  at  Dahlonega, 
upon  the  same  terms  as  are  prescribed  for  students  at  the 
University  at  Athens,  except  that  the  students  who  may 
participate  in  the  benefits  of  this  fund  at  Dahlonega  must 
be  selected  under, such  rules  and  regulations  as  the  board  of 
trustees  of  the  University  may  prescribe  (to  be  reasonable 
and  just),  from  the  mountain  counties  of  Northeast  Georgia, 
and  the  counties  of  Oconee,  Pickens   and   Anderson,  in  the 


110  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

State  of  South  Carolina — Pickens  District,  now  Oconee  and 
Pickens  counties,  contains  my  birthplace.  My  life,  up  to  the 
commencement  of  my  manhood,  was  spent  in  the  district  of 
my  birthplace  in  South  Carolina,  and  in  the  mountains  of 
Northeast  Georgia,  and  the  first  credit  I  received  for  money 
in  aid  of  my  education,  was  in  the  county  of  Anderson,  S.  C, 
in  which  Calhoun  Academy,  where  I  commenced  my  studies, 
is  located. 

The  mountain  section  above  mentioned  was  the  theatre  of 
my  early  struggle  with  poverty,  in  my  attempt  to  educate 
myself,  and  I  wish  to  pay  its  people,  who  have  sympa- 
thized with  and  supported  me  in  every  emergency,  this  small 
tribute  of  my  grateful  recollection.  As  the  amounts  loaned 
students  at  Dahlonega  are  returned,  I  wish  them  to  be  added 
to  the  principal,  which  is  set  apart  out  of  the  sum  of  fifty 
thousand  dollars  as  donated  above  to  raise  the  said  sum  of 
one  thousand  dollars  annually  for  said  college  at  Dahlonega, 
so  that  it  may  accumulate  as  in  case  of  the  fund  set  apart 
for  students  at  the  University  at  Athens,  both  being 
placed  upon  the  same  principle  of  accumulation. 

If  the  North  Georgia  Agricultural  College  should  at  any 
time  be  discontinued  (which  I  trust  may  never  occur),  and 
any  other  school  or  college  of  like  grade  should  take  its  place 
at  Dahlonega,  or  in  any  of  the  mountain  counties  of  North- 
east Georgia,  that  is  not  denominational  in  its  character,  the 
benefits  intended  for  the  North  Georgia  Agricultural  College 
at  Dahlonega  are  to  be  transferred  to  the  students  of  such 
college  or  high  school  as  may  be  selected  by  the  board  of 
trustees  of  the  State  University,  to  take  its  place  in  said  sec- 
tion of  country. 

If,  unfortunately,  there  should  at  anytime  in  the  future,  be 
no  such  school  kept  in  the  said  section  of  Northeast  Georgia, 
for  as  much  as  five  years,  then  the  fund  set  apart  for  that 
purpose  shall  be  transferred  to  the  University  of  Georgia  at 
Athens,  and  become  part  of  the  fund  to  be 'expended  in  aid 
of  the  students  there  in  the  manner  and  on  the  terms  alread\r 
mentioned.

If  there  should  be  any  year  when  there  are  not  enough  of 
applicants  tor  the  fund,  of  good  moral  character  and  prom- 
ise, to  consume  all  the  amount  of  interest  accruing  during 
that  year,  the  accrued  interest  not  so  used,  is  to  be  added  to 
the  principal  sum  and  placed  at  interest,  the  annual  interest 
to  be  applied  to  the  purpose  a  lreachr  designated.  Incaseof  the 
fund  to  be  loaned  at  Dahlonega,  as  living  is  cheaper  there 
than  at  Athens, I  directthat  not  more  than  one  hundred  and 
fifty  dollars  annualhT  be  loaned  to  any  young  man  while  en- 
gaged  in  the  pursuit  of  his  studies,  to  be  paid  to  him  month- 
ly, the  interest  for  each  year  to  commencejat  the  end  of  the 
year.  The  amount  in  each  case  may  seem  small,  but  a  young 
man  without  means  who  is  not  willing  to  live  economically 
to  secure  an  education,  or  who  is  willing  to  go  in  debt  to  ob- 
tain larger  sums  to  be  expended  in  better  Hying  or  for  greater 
display  at  college,  is  not,  in  my  opinion,  the  person  most 
likely  to  succeed,  or  most  wrorthy  to  be  trusted  with  funds 
with  which  he  is  expected  to  return. 

Any  young  man  who  pursues  his  studies  for  the  purpose 
of  preparing  himself  for  the  ministry  in  any  of  the  churches, 
and  who,  after  the  completion  of  his  studies,  devotes  his 
time  and  talent,  under  the  authority  of  his  church,  to  the 
work  of  the  ministr}',  as  his  profession  or  business,  shall  only 
be  required  to  return  to  the  University,  one-half  the  amount 
received  by  him,  with  interest  as  aforesaid. 

Any  young  man  studying  to  prepare  himself  for  the  pro- 
fession of  medicine,  may  pursue  his  studies'  in  Augusta, 
where  the  Medical  Department  of  the  University  is  located. 

Xo  part  of  the  fund  herein  mentioned,  shall  at  any  time  be 
paid  as  fees,  commission,  salary  or  otherwise,  to  the  trustees, 
or  an}-  officer  or  agent  of  the  trustees,  or  any  officer  or  agent 
of  the  University. 

As  the  fund  is  donated  to  aid  poor,  but  worthy  young  men 
to  secure  a  liberal  education,  I  have  full  confidence  that  the 
trustees  and  officers  of  the  University,  with  whom  I  have 
acted  so  long,  and  their  successors,  will,  as  heretofore,  in  all 
cases  connected  with  their  trust,  administer  this  as  apart  of 
the   funds   of  the   University,  for  the  good  of  all,  for  the 


112  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

usual  salaries  which  the  officers  would  receive  if  no  such  fund 
existed. 

If  it  should  at  any  time  become  necessary,  to  employ  coun- 
sel to  collect  money  due  from  any  one  who  borrowed  it  as  a 
student,  and  is  able  to  pay  it  back  and  refuses  to  do  so,  then 
it  wall  be  expected  that  the  usual  fees  be  paid  to  such  coun- 
sel, and  some  attorney  might  in  such  case  be  employed  to 
look  generally  after  such  collections,  and  see  that  the  Uni- 
versity does  not  suffer  loss  by  inattention  to  such  collections. 

I  reserve  to  my  four  sons,  Julius  L.  Brown,  Joseph  M. 
Brown,  Elijah  A.  Brown  and  George  M.  Brown,  each,  the 
right  to  select  one  young  man  to  receive  the  benefits  of  the 
loan,  and  as  the  one  selected  graduates  or  leaves  college,  to 
select  another  as  successor  so  that  each  may  constantly,  dur- 
ing his  natural  life,  keep  one  student  of  his  own  selection  in 
the  University,  as  a  recipient  of  the  use  of  the  funds  neces- 
sary in  his  case,  subject  to  the  regulations  above  specified, 
and  in  case  anyone  or  each  of  my  sons  shall  select  a  kinsman 
as  near  to  him  as  the  fourth  degree  of  consanguinity,  such 
student  shall  have  the  benefit  of  the  fund  free  from  the  obli- 
gation to  return  it  to  the  University  if  my  said  son,  selecting 
such  relative,  shall  so  direct,  all  other  selections  to  be  made 
under  the  rules  and  regulations  to  be  prescribed  by  the  board 
of  trustees,  as  already  mentioned.  And  my  said  sons,  and 
the  survivor  or  survivors  of  them,  shall  have  all  the  usual 
rights  of  visitation,  with  power  to  see  that  the  trust  as- 
sumed by  the  board  of  trustees  in  behalf  of  the  University 
is  justly  and  faithfully  administered,  and  in  case  the  trust 
is  unjustly,  illegally  or  wrongfully  abused,  to  proceed  in  the 
proper  court  to  recover  back  the  funds  for  the  use  of  my  le- 
gal heirs;  but  neither  my  heirs,  nor  any  one  of  them,  shall 
have  the  right  to  recover  back  the  said  sum  on  account  of 
any  technical  or  inadvertent  failure  to  carry  out  the  trust,  if 
there  has  not  been  an  important  or  substantial  failure  to 
do  so. 

The  survivor  of  my  said  four  sons  may  by  his  will  appoint 
some  one  with  like  power  of  visitation,  if  he  thinks  proper 
to  do  so.  Joseph  E.  Brown. 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA,  1  13 

The  trustees  accepted  Governor  Brown's  proposition  by  a 

formal  resolution,  but  not  without  opposition  from  Gen- 
eral Toombs  (then  personally  at  enmity  with  Governor 
Brown),  who  objected  on  the  ground  that  its  conditions 
were  unconstitutional  and  asked  that  his  protest  against  its 
acceptance  be  recorded  on  the  minutes  of  the  board.  Gov- 
ernor Brown  then  with  the  utmost  suavity  asked  leave  to  file 
with  the  protest  a  paper  which  he  produced  and  which  proved 
to  be  a  copy  of  a  letter  from  General  Toombs  giving  an 
opinion  in  the  case  of  the  Alexander  Free  School  of  Macon, 
the  conditions  of  which  were  similar  to  this,  and  in  which,  he 
declared  the  identical  proposition  to  be  constitutional. 

The  Charles  McDonald  Brown  Fund  has,  up  to  this  date 
(1894),  aided  150  young  men  in  completing  their  education, 
and  $35,000  has  been  loaned  to  them  for  that  purpose.  It 
has  been  a  boon  to  many  an  ambitious  bo\^,  helping  him  to 
rise  out  of  the  vale  of  ignorance  and  furnishing  him  with  the 
means  of  making  a  support. 

These  two  notable  donations  recall  the  gift  from  Mr. 
James  Gunn,  Jr.,  in  1802,  of  one  thousand  dollars,  the  first 
private  gift  in  money  to  the  University,  and  coming  at  a 
time  when  sorely  needed.  This  was  followed  in  1817  by  a 
contribution  of  the  same  sum  by  Mr.  John  Marks,  of  Madi- 
son county,  for  the  purchase  of  philosophical  apparatus. 

From  that  time  no  private  purse  strings  were  unloosed  in 
behalf  of  the  University  until  1854,  when  Dr.  William  Ter- 
rell, of  Hancock  county,  sent  the  following  communication 
to  the  trustees : 

Sparta,  July  27th,  1854. 
To  the  Honorable,  the  Trustees  of  the  University of Georgia  : 

(  ientlemen — From  such  observation  as  I  have  had  an  op- 
portunity to  make,  on  the  condition  of  the  people  in  differ- 
ent parts  of  the  world,  I  am  quite  satisfied  that  there  are 
none  who  are  so  abundantly  supplied  with  all  the  neces- 
saries and  comforts  of  life  as  our  own ;  and  that  there  is  no 
form  of  government  so  suitable  to  the  intellectual  develop- 
ment of  a  people  or  the  resources  of  a  country,  as  that  of 
the  United  States. 


114  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

To  give  perpetuity  to  the  compact  of  these  confederated 
States,  the  principles  of  which  have  thrown  so  much  light 
on  the  social  and  political  relations  of  man,  and  aided  so 
much  in  the  advancement  of  civilization  and  the  means  of 
individual  and  national  prosperity,  is  surely  the  duty  of 
every  patriot.  Education  is  doing  much  for  this  great  ob- 
ject in  ever\r  department  of  knowledge,  except  in  agriculture, 
and  in  this,  the  most  important  of  all,  the  United  States  are 
far  behind  most  of  the  States  of  Europe;  and  the  Southern, 
with  the  advantage  of  soil  and  climate,  much  more  so  than 
the  Eastern  and  Northern.  The  best  form  of  government 
for  a  country,  where  a  system  of  agriculture  prevails  that  is 
constantly  tending  to  impoverish  the  soil,  cannot  long  sus~ 
tain  a  thrifty  population  or  be  able  to  defend  itself.  To 
avoid  such  a  calamity,  which  there  is  reason  to  fear  will 
be  our  condition  at  no  distant  day,  the  people  of  the  South- 
ern States  must  find  the  means  of  preserving  their  lands 
from  destruction  by  bad  tillage,  which  is  so  strikingly  ob- 
servable in  every  part  of  the  country. 

To  aid  in  this  great  enterprise,  if  you  will  allow  me  to 
call  it  such,  I  propose  to  your  honorable  body,  to  give  to 
Franklin  College  bonds  of  the  State  to  the  amount  of 
Twenty  Thousand  Dollars,  the  annual  interest  of  which 
shall  be  applied  permanently  as  compensation  for  a  pro. 
fessor,  whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  deliver  in  the  college  a 
course  of  lectures  during  its  term,  on  ''Agriculture  as  a 
Science ;  the  Practice  and  Improvement  of  Different  People ; 
on  Chemistry  and  Geology  so  far  as  they  may  be  useful  in 
Agriculture;  on  Manures,  Analysis  of  Soil  and  Domestic 
Economy,  particularly  referring  to  the  Southern  States;" 
the  lectures  to  be  free. 

If  this  proposition  is  acceptable  to  you,  I  shall  ask  the 
privilege  of  recommending  to  your  consideration  for  the  ap~ 
pointment  of  the  first  professor,  Dr.  Daniel  Lee,  who  has 
spent  twenty  years  of  his  life  in  the  study  and  practice  of 
agriculture,  and  who  will  bring  to  its  duties  all  his  skill  and 
a  zeal  that  ought  to  insure  success. 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  1  L5 

With  considerations  of  the  highest  respect,  1  am  your  obe- 
dient servant, 

Wm.  Terrell. 

This  liberal  donation  was  accepted  by  the  board  in  reso- 
lutions expressing  their  appreciation  of  Dr.  Terrell's  patri. 
otic  purpose.  The  "Terrell  Professorship  of  Agriculture" 
was  created  and  Dr.  Daniel  Lee,  of  New  York,  was  unani- 
mously appointed  to  the  position. 

In  1859,  Gen.  Robert  Taylor,  of  Athens,  left  by  will  $5,000 
for  a  scholarship  in  the  college.  The  funds  in  which  this 
bequest  w as  invested  were  rendered  valueless  by  the  war 
and  so  lost  to  the  institution. 

Mention  has  been  made  of  the  $25,000  given  by  the  city 
of  Athens  in  1873  for  the  erection  of  Moore  College.  This 
timely  donation  enabled  the  University  to  greatly  enlarge  its 
capacit\-  for  usefulness  when  the  necessity  was  upon  it  to 
do  so. 

The  Gilmer  Fund  can  hardly  be  classed  with  donations 
since  the  University  derives  no  benefit  from  it,  even  remotely. 
Governor  Gilmer  left  by  will  to  certain  trustees  $15,000, 
"to  form  a  perpetual  fund  for  educating  teachers  of  reading, 
writing  and  arithmetic,  or  to  otherwise  increase  the  qualifica- 
tions of  schoolmasters  of  Georgia  for  properly  instructing 
the  children  of  the  State." 

The  securities  in  which  this  fund  was  held  coming  due,  and 
the  difficulty  of  reinvesting  them  at  the  same  rate  of  interest 
being  apparent  to  the  trustees,  they  proposed  to  the  trus- 
tees of  the  University  to  take  charge  of  the  fund  and  ad- 
minister it  according  to  the  terms  of  Governor  Gilmer's 
will.  This  was  acceded  to  by  the  board  solely  in  the  inter- 
ests of  public  education,  but  it  has  proved  a  veritable 
apple  of  discord.  The  Gilmer  Fund,  although  of  no  benefit 
to  the  University,  has  been  the  source  of  more  wrangling 
and  annoyance  than  almost  any  other  matter  in  the  control 
of  the  board. 

Other  valuable  gifts  have  been  made  from  time  to  time, 
of  books  and  scientific  collections  and  curiosities,  none  the 
less  acceptable  because  unnoticed  in  detail.

Col.  William  L. Mitchell — Dr.  E.  \v.  Speer — Dr.William  Louis  Jones — 
(icn  William  M.  Browne — Experiment  Station — Library — School 
of  Technology — Death  of  Chancellor  Biell. 

1882-1888. 

The  death  of  William  Letcher  Mitchell  in  1882  removed 
from  the  college  roll  a  conspicuous  character  and  a  friend 
devoted  to  all  its  interests.  A  graduate  of  the  class  of  1825, 
elected  a  tutor  in  1830  and  a  trustee  in  1842,  he  was  acting 
president  during  a  brief  interregnum  and  succeeded  Mr.  As- 
burv  Hull  as  secretary  and  treasurer,  and  Judge  Lumpkin 
as  professor  of  law.  In  all  these  offices  he  was  faithful  to 
the  trusts  confided  to  him,  and  at  all  times  and  under  all  cir- 
cumstances, unwavering  in  his  devotion  to  the  University. 

Col.  Mitchell  was  a  man  of  pronounced  character  and 
strong  convictions.  He  was  never  found  on  the  fence.  He 
was  always  ready  with  either  j-es  or  no  for  an  answer.  A 
warm  friend  and  a  good  hater  himself,  he  counted  both 
among  his  acquaintances  all  through  life. 

He  had  a  cousin  of  the  same  name  living  in  Athens,  and  to 
distinguish  him,  the  soubriquet  of  '' Slick-head"  was  given 
Col.  Mitchell  from  his  manner  of  brushing  the  hair.  This 
nickname  stuck  to  him  for  many  years.  A  warm  attachment 
grew  up  between  him  and  Dr.  Lipscomb,  and  throughout  the 
latter's  administration  Mr.  Mitchell  was  fidus  amicus 
curiae. 

With  an  active  mind  and  original  in  thought,  Mr.  Mitchell 
would  sometimes  present  the  most  startling  propositions, 
both  in  private  and  in  religious  assemblies.  He  was  always 
interesting  and  often  instructive.  Once  discoursing  on  the 
Last  Supper,  quoting  the  words  "drink  ye  all  of  it,"  he 
said:  "Now,  the  Episcopalians  think  that  means  you  must 
drink  it  all  it]).     Sometimes,  when  they  have  their    commun- 


118  HISTOKICAL    SKETCH 

ion,  the  preacher  prepares  for  a  big  congregation,  and  only  a 
few  come,  and  they  have  a  good  deal  of  wine  left  over. 
Then  the  preacher  has  to  call  in  the  church  officers  to  help 
him  drink  it  and  sometimes  they  come  away  a  little  tipsy." 
He  always  insisted  that  the  "thorn  in  the  flesh"  from 
which  St.  Paul  .suffered  was  a  second  wife. 

In  his  latter  years,  Mr.  Mitchell  was  a  great  sufferer  from 
asthma  and  from  its  effects  he  finally  died,  in  the  full  com- 
munion of  the  Presbyterian  faith. 

After  a  service  of  eight  years,  Dr.  Eustace  W.  Speer,  a 
scholarly  man  and  a  polished  rhetorician,  resigned  the 
chair  of  belles-lettres,  and  Professor  Charles  Morris  was 
recalled  to  take  his  place  in  the  faculty. 

Dr.  William  Louis  Jones  was  elected  professor  of  agri- 
culture in  the  place  of  Gen.  Browne  who  had  not  long  be- 
fore died. 

William  M.  Browne  was  a  native  of  Ireland.  After  going 
through  the  famous  school  at  Rugby,  he  graduated  at  Dub- 
lin University.  Coming  to  America  after  an  extensive  tour 
of  travel  on  the  continent,  he  settled  in  Washington  City, 
where  he  became  the  editor  of  the  leading  administration 
paper  under  President  Buchanan.  At  the  outbreak  of  the 
Civil  War  he  espoused  the  cause  of  the  South,  and 'going  to 
Richmond,  was  appointed  by  President  Davis,  who  had 
known  him  well,  one  of  his  aids  with  the  rank  of  brigadier- 
general.  General  Browne  became  a  resident  of  Athens  a  year 
before  the  close  of  the  war.  A  scholarly  man,  a  great  reader 
and  anamiablecompanion,hemade  many  friends  in  Georgia. 
Indeed,  it  has  been  said  that  his  friends  made  the  chair  which 
he  occupied  especially  for  him.  In  so  far  as  his  connection 
with  the  chair  of  agriculture  was  concerned,  he  was  a  fail- 
ure. He  had  no  training  whatever  for  the  work.  He  didn't 
know  the  difference  between  nitrogen  and  ammonia,  and  he 
believed  that  feeding  a  cow  on  fodder  would  dry  up  her  milk. 
But  as  a  student  of  history  and  kindred  subjects,  he  was 
quite  well  fitted  for  that  department,  and  his  lectures  were 
much  appreciated.  He  died  in  1883,  a  member  of  the  Metho- 
dist church. 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  1  L9 

Dr.  Jones  brought  to  his  office  a  vigorous  intellect    and   a 

mind  trained  by  long  habit  to  accurate  observation.  As 
editor  of  the  Southern  Cultivator,  the  leading  agricultural 
paper  in  the  South,  he  had  earned  the  reputation  of  a  clear- 
headed, practical  farmer.  His  advice  on  all  sorts  of  plans 
was  sought  by  farmers  all  over  the  South,  and  when  given, 
was  regarded  as  an  ultimatum.  By  education  and  subse- 
quent training,  by  the  habits  of  his  life  and  the  character  of 
his  mind,  Dr.  Jones  seemed  to  be  eminently  fitted  for  this 
work,  and  if  any  one  could  raise  the  department  from  the 
worse  than  useless  state  to  which  it  had  fallen,  he  was  be- 
lieved to  be  the  man  to  do  it.  He  set  to  work  with  energy 
to  make  something  of  the  chair,  but  from  the  very  nature  of 
things  he  was  doomed  to  disappointment.  The  only  class- 
room work  that  could  be  done  was  the  work  of  the  ''Terrell 
Professor  of  Agriculture,"  performed  in  a  course  of  lectures 
on  agricultural  chemistry  by  Prof.  H.  C.  White.  Beyond 
this,  everything  was  experiment  in  the  field.  The  professor, 
therefore,  rarely  met  the  students  in  classes,  and  his  time 
was  devoted  to  the  work  of  the  farm. 

The  act  of  Congress  appropriating  $15,000  annually  to 
the  support  of  experiment  stations  in  the  agricultural  col- 
leges gave  Dr.  Jones,  who  was  made  director  of  the  station 
in  Georgia,  an  opportunity  he  had  long  desired.  Extensive 
preparations  were  made  at  the  college  farm  for  experiment- 
ing with  ensilage  and  dairy  products  and  the  various  crops 
of  the  Southern  States. 

The  act  of  the  Legislature,  however,  upset  all  his  plans  by 
creating  a  board  of  directors,  who  captured  the  funds  and 
all  its  appurtenances,  removed  the  station  from  Athens  and 
appointed  an  entirely  new  set  of  officers. 

Disappointed  and  supplanted  in  the  field  of  farm  experi- 
ment, Dr.  Jones  not  long  afterwards  resigned  his  professor- 
ship and  retired  the  third  time  from  the  University. 

From  its  earliest  years,  the  library  of  the  college  had 
been  almost  like  a  sealed  book.  It  had  been  the  custom  for 
one  of  the  professors  to  act  as  librarian,  opening  the  room 
for  an  hour  on  certain  days  to  enable  students  to  get  books 


120  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

which  they  might  take  to  their  rooms.  In  1887,  a  new  plan 
was  adopted  by  which  the  advantages  of  the  excellent 
library  were  offered  to  all  the  students  and  its  usefulness 
greatly  increased.  Miss  Sarah  Friersonwas  elected  the  muse 
of  literature,  and  under  her  methodical  arrangement  and  ad- 
mirable management,  the  library  is  the  chief  resort  of  the 
bo\'s.  The  room  is  cheerful,  nicely-carpeted,  furnished  with 
comfortable  chairs  and  is  made  still  more  attractive  by 
plants  and  flowers.  The  librarian  is  always  attentive  and 
polite,  and  such  is  her  popularity  that  no  student  has  cared 
or  dared  to  violate  the  rules  imposed  upon  him  by  "Miss 
Puss." 

Another  branch  college  was  established  by  the  Legislature 
in  1885 — The  School  of  Technology.  A  commission  ap- 
pointed by  the  governor  controls  the  details  of  this  institu- 
tion, their  acts  subject  to  the  revision  of  the  trustees  of  the 
University.  When  the  selection  of  its  location  was  under 
consideration,  the  trustees  offered  free  a  site  for  the  build- 
ings on  the  campus,  the  use  of  the  library  and  laboratories 
for  the  students  of  the  school,  and  their  assent  to  the  pro- 
fessors of  the  University  delivering  lectures  in  the  Technologi- 
cal School  as  might  be  provided  for  in  future.  The  com- 
mission, moved  by  a  handsome  donation  offered  by  the  city 
of  Atlanta,  chose  that  place  above  all  other  competitors. 
Under  the  act  of  the  Legislature,  the  entire  commission  be- 
come ex  officio  trustees  of  the  University,  adding  five  to 
that  already  too  numerous  and  unwieldly  body. 

In  1887,  a  difficulty  between  two  students,  which  was 
warmly  espoused  by  their  respective  fraternities,  lead  to  a 
challenge  and  a  prize  fight  under  the  "Marquis  of  Queens- 
bury 's  rules."  The  fight  was  extensively  advertised  during 
a  week  of  training,  and  was  largely  attended  by  students 
and  citizens  in  carriages,  buggies  and  on  horseback.  The 
lack  of  any  effective  steps  to  prevent  the  meeting  and  the  fail- 
ure to  discipline  the  principal  offenders  brought  some  severe 
criticisms  upon  the  faculty,  both  in  and  out  of  University 
circles.  The  action  of  the  board  on  the  matter  at  its  next 
annual  meeting  caused  Chancellor  Mell  to  send  in  his  resigna- 


rNIYKKsiTY    OF    GEORGIA.  1  2  1 

tion,  which,  however,  he  was  induced  to  withdraw.  Before 
another  year  had  expired,  he  had  joined  the  great  majority. 

Patrick  Hughes  Mell  was  born  in  Liberty  county,  Georgia, 
July  19,  1 S14-.  At  the  age  of  seventeen,  he  taught  a  country 
school,  saving  enough  to  take  him  to  Amherst  College, 
Mass.,  where  he  graduated,  pa}ring  his  expenses  there  by 
teaching  during  vacation.  After  leaving  college,  he  taught 
at  Springfield  and  at  Hartford,  but  declined  flattering  offers 
there  to  return  to  his  native  State. 

Upon  the  recommendation  of  Governor  Troup,  he  was 
elected  professor  of  ancient  languages  in  Mercer  College  in 
1842,  and  twelve  years  later,  was  called  to  the  same  chair  in 
the  University  of  Georgia.  Here  he  spent  the  remainder  of 
his  days. 

Dr.  Mell  had  been  offered,  but  declined  the  presidency  of 
Georgetown  College,  Kentucky,  of  Wake  Forest,  X.  C,  and 
of  Mississippi  College.  He  also  declined  the  pastorate  of 
several  large  city  churches,  but  while  at  Penfield  and  at 
Athens,  he  served  the  churches  at  Bairdstown  and  Antioch, 
the  first  for  thirty  and  the  other  for  twenty  years. 

As  a  preacher  of  the  gospel,  Dr.  Mell  ranked  high.  He 
made  no  pretense  of  oratory,  nor  even  reached  the  point  of 
eloquence,  but  the  exhaustive  analysis  of  his  subject  and 
the  close  reasoning  of  his  argument,  held  his  hearers'  strict 
attention  and  left  them  with  the  sense  that  there  was  noth- 
ing more  to  be  said.  He  had  the  unbounded  confidence  of 
bis  own  denomination  and  held  the  office  of  Moderator  of 
the  Southern  Baptist  Convention  for  many  years,  being  an- 
nually re-elected  until  the  last  year  of  his  life. 

At  one  session  of  that  body,  held  in  Louisville,  Ky.,  a 
brother  who  was  speaking  referred  to  the  late  Civil  War  as 
the  "rebellion."  Dr.  Mell  immediately  rapped  sharply  with 
his  gavel  and  said :  "That  wrord  is  out  of  order  on  this 
floor."  Nor  did  he  yield  one  iota  of  his  devotion  to  the  South 
or  the  justice  of  the  Confederate  cause. 

In  1861,  he  raised  a  company  of  volunteers,  called  for  him 
the  Mell  Rifles,  but  before  the}-  enlisted,  the  death  of  Mrs. 
Mell,  leaving  a  family  of  small  children,  made  it  imperative 


122 


HISTORICAL    SKETCH 


that  he  should  remain  at  home.  Later  in  the  war,  he  com- 
manded a  regiment  of  "six  months"  troops  at  Rome  and 
Savannah. 

Personally,  Dr.  Mell  was  austere  in  manner,  very  reserved 
and  distant,  but  courteous  to  all,  even  to  punctiliousness, 
and  to  his  friends,  he  verged  upon  cordiality.  As  a  professor, 
he  was  a  hard  man    to    recite  to.  His    custom    on    the 

assembling  of  the  class  was  to  say  :  "Mr.  Blank,  will  you  be- 
gin the  lesson?"  If  Mr.  Blank  happened  to  be  an  average 
student,  upon  such  an  invitation  he  would  utterly  fail  to  sug- 
gest an  idea  ;  but  if  by  chance  he  was  able  to  respond  with 
an}'  success,  the  professor  would,  after  a  little,  say:  "That 
will  do,  sir;  Mr.  X.,  will  you  please  take  it  up  there?"  No 
change  of  expression  ever  indicated  to  either  whether  he  had 
failed  or  recited  correctly. 

The  writer  came  in  one  Saturday  morning  to  a  class  in  Lat- 
in under  Dr.  Mell,  after  an  all  night  'possum  hunt,  barely 
getting  to  the  chapel  at  the  last  tap  of  the  prayer-bell.  As 
might  have  been  expected,  so  soon  as  he  composed  himself 
on  the  recitation  bench,  he  fell  asleep.  The  professor 
promptly  called  on  him  to  read  a  passage  in  Cicero  and  ap- 
preciating the  situation,  let  him  sleep  through  the  hour— but 
gave  him  zero. 

Dr.  Mell's  policy,  as  he  himself  announced  to  the  board, 
was  to  find  out  first  what  mischief  was  brewing  and  then 
prevent  its  outbreak.  In  pursuance  of  this  idea,  he  some- 
how—no one  ever  knew  just  how— learned  everything  that 
was  going  on.  It  was  even  said  that  he  would  occasion- 
ally join  a  party  of  mischief-makers,  going  along  with 
them  unrecognized  in  the  darkness  of  the  night,  to  astound 
them  afterwards  by  his  accurate  knowledge  of  the  offense. 
On  one  occasion,  while  a  professor  at  Penfield,  a  party  of 
boys  planned  a  raid  on  a    neighboring    watermelon    patch. 

Dr.  Mell  got  wind  of  their  design  and  quietly  joined  the 
party.  When  they  arrived  at  their  destination,  one  fellow 
said:  "Boys,  suppose  old  Pat  should  turn  up  here!"  Said 
another:  "If  he  did,  I  would  kill  him."  Whereupon,  the 
professor,  who  was  a  man  of   undaunted   courage,   stepped 


UNIVERSITY    ov  GEORGIA.  L23 

forward  and  said:  "Here  I  am,  sir."  The  last  speaker  im- 
mediately drew  a  pistol,  pointed  at  his  breast  and  pulled  the 
trigger.  The  weapon  missed  fire  and  the  audacious  student 
threw  it  from  him  and  vanished  in  the  darkness;  nor  did  he 
appear  at  the  college  again. 

This  incident  was  related  by  a  gentleman  who  was  associ- 
ated with  Dr.  Mell  at  Mercer. 

Of  Chancellor  Mell's  administration  at  the  University  we 
have  already  spoken.  Perhaps  its  only  fault  was  a  lack  of 
aggressiveness.  Dr  Mell  did  not  like  to  assume  responsi- 
bility. He  would  not  shirk  it  when  it  was  placed  upon  him, 
but  fearlessly  faced  thesituation  and  executed  the  laws  as  he 
understood  his  duty  to  be.  But  because  he  assumed  no  con- 
trol of  other  departments  than  his  own,  there  were  com- 
plaints of  laxity  and  inefficiency,  which  resulted  eventually 
in  the  removal  of  some  of  his  associates  in  the  faculty. 

A  brief  illness  following  upon  prostration  brought  Chan- 
cellor Mell  to  his  bed,  from  which  he  never  arose.  On  Janu- 
ary 26,  1888,  he  breathed  his  last.

1888-1889. 

The  annual  session  of  the  board  following  the  death  of 
Dr.Mell,  was  one  of  great  interest  on  account  of  the  pending 
election  of  his  successor.  Col.  L.  H.  Charbonnier  had  been 
appointed  in  the  interim  acting  chancellor  and  filled  the 
position  with  dignity  and  consummate  tact  under  the  most 
trying  conditions.  Declining  to  permit  the  use  of  his  name 
for  the  permanent  duties  of  the  office,  he  maintained  the 
standard  of  deportment  and  scholarship  of  the  college  with 
distinguished  ability  during  the  year  of  his  incumbency. 

In  anticipation  of  a  warm  contest  for  the  chancellorship, 
every  effort  was  made  to  secure  a  full  attendance  of  the 
trustees  at  their  meeting.  One  old  gentleman  in  feeble 
health  was  brought  from  a  distant  part  of  the  State  who 
never  even  realized  where  he  was. 

Two  elements  appeared  in  the  board — one  demanding  a 
young,  progressive,  active  man,  fully  abreast  with  the 
times;  the  other  more  conservative,  insisting  on  a  minister  of 
the  gospel,  a  person  of  sobriety  and  of  positive  religious  con- 
victions. The  day  and  hour  were  set  for  the  election.  Citi- 
zens of  the  town,  alumni  from  other  places,  students  and 
ladies,  all  shared  in  the  interest  of  the  occasion.  The  ''pro- 
gressive" element  put  in  nomination  Professor  Harry  C. 
White;  the  "conservatives"  presented  the  Rev.  G.  B.  Strick. 
ler,  of  Atlanta.  After  the  usual  speeches  and  remarks  defin- 
ing exactly  the  position  of  the  speakers,  the  balloting  began. 
Dr.  Strickler  was  elected  by  a  majority  of  one. 


QNIVERBITY   OF    GEORGIA.  L25 

Before  the  session  came  to  a  elose,  it  was  known  that  he 
had  declined  the  office  and  that  Professor  White  had  with- 
drawn his  name  from  further  eonsideration,  leaving  the 
board  without  a  candidate  and  the  University  without  a 
chancellor. 

An  adjourned  meeting  of  the  board  was  held  in  October, 
when  happily  both  elements,  at  the  first  suggestion  of  his 
name  centered  upon  a  gentleman  of  great  ability,  progres- 
sive in  thought,  aggressive  in  character  and  immovable  in 
the  discharge  of  duty,  the  Rev.  William  E.  Boggs,  D.  D.,  of 
Memphis,  Tenn. 

Dr.  Boggs'  election  was  unanimous  and  after  due  consid- 
eration, he  accepted  the  call  and  entered  upon  the  duties  of 
the  office  in  February,  1889. 

With  Dr.  Boggs,  other  additions  were  made  to  thefacult}'. 
The  newly-established  chair  of  biology  was  filled  by  Pro- 
fessor John  P.  Campbell.  Dr.  J.  W.  Spencer  (whose  tenure 
of  office  was  very  brief)  was  made  professor'of  geology,  and 
Mr.  Charles  M.  Snelling,  military  instructor  and  adjunct 
professor  of  mathematics.  Professor  W.  H.  Bocock  was 
appointed  to  the  department  of  ancient  languages,  vice 
Professor  Woodfin,  resigned,  and  Mr.  W.  D.  Hooper,  in- 
structor. 

Professor  Williams  Rutherford,  for  thirty-three  years  the 
honored  instructor  in  mathematics  of  two  generations  of 
students,  retired  from  active  w ork  in  the  same  year.  The 
board,  in  accepting  his  resignation,  continued  his  salary 
for  one  year,  requesting  him  to  aid  the  chancellor  in  what- 
ever way  might  be  agreeable  to  him  and  made  him  Emeritus 
Professor  of  mathematics. 

Professor  Rutherford  was  an  alumnus  and  the  son  of  an 
alumnus  of  the  first  graduating  class  of  the  University. 
Upright,  faithful,  honest  and  just,  he  inspired  confidence 
and  respect  in  every  student  who  came  under  his  instruction. 
Though  they  often  sorely  tried  his  patience,  all  loved  "Old 
Foot,"  and  all  confessed  that  his  simple  faith  and  irre- 
proachable life,  was  a  sermon  that  spoke  louder  to  them  than 
words.     His  influence  was  always  for  good  and   the  results 


126  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

of  his  personal  work  among  the  students  of  the  college  in 
encouraging  them  to  right  living  and  in  weaning  them  from 
vicious  habits,  cannot  be  estimated.  It  is  that  kind  of  a 
teacher  who  has  the  making  of  a  man.  May  his  days  grow 
brighter  as  his  sun  goes  down. 

The  subject  of  secret  fraternities  has  of  late  years  engaged 
the  serious  attention  of  all  college  officers. 

The  earliest  record  of  their  appearance  in  the  University  of 
Georgia,  is  the  organization  of  the  "Mystic  Circle"  in  1845. 
What  the  object  of  the  society  was  we  may  not  know,  but 
the  record,  which  until  recently  was  in  the  college  library,  in- 
dicates that  they  had  a  good  deal  of  fun  in  their  meetings. 
A  high  dignitary  of  the  circle  in  New  York,  a  few  years  ago 
requested  of  the  trustees  that  this  record  be  turned  over  to 
him,  which   request  was  cheerfully  granted. 

The  effect  of  that  fraternity  upon  its  members  may  be 
conjectured  from  a  resolution  adopted  in  1848,  declaring  it 
to  be  contrary  to  law  for  any  student  to  become  a  member 
of  any  secret  societyr  other  than  the  Demosthenian  and  Phi 
Kappa  societies,  unless  permitted  by  the  faculty.  A  half 
dozen  years  later,  the  faculty  suppressed  another  organiza- 
tion which  threatened  trouble. 

In  1866,  a  chapter  of  the  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  frater- 
nity was  established  in  the  University  and  the  chancellor  and 
other  members  of  the  faculty  were  admitted  as  honorary- 
members.  After  a  while  other  Greek  letter  societies  established 
chapters  and  active  rivalries  grew  up  between  them,  leading 
to  bitter  animosities  and  personal  encounters. 

In  the  meantime,  the  literary  societies  waned  and  the  halls 
which  once  re-echoed  the  tones  of  Lumpkin  and  Toombs 
and  Pierce  and  Stephens  and  Cobb  and  Hill,  were  silent,  save 
with  the  perfunctory  program  of  the  day's  routine.  The 
very  property  deteriorated,  and  the  debating  rooms,  which 
used  to  be  the  pride  of  the  membership,  with  broken  seats, 
defaced  furniture  and  ragged  carpets,  became  a  disgrace  to 
their  owners.  The  banners  which  once  were  so  proudly 
borne  in  procession,  now  torn  and  hung  awry,  awoke  no  en- 
thusiasm.    The  very  name  of  the  societies  were  held  in  con- 


IMVKKSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  121 

tempt,  and  on  their  anniversaries,  hardly  a  corporal's  guard 
could  be  got  to  march  to  the  chapel. 

It  lias  been  denied  that  this  was  due  to  the  Greek  letter 
fraternities.  Possibly,  it  was  not,  but  it  is  a  coincidence 
that  as  *he  one  increased,  the  other  decreased. 

The  year  of  Chancellor  Lipscomb's  retirement,  the  board 
passed  an  order  requiring  students  to  sign  a  pledge  not  to 
join  any  secret  society.  Chancellor  Tucker  reaffirmed  the 
declaration  that  the  fraternities  were  an  element  of  disorder 
and  ought  not  to  be  permitted  to  exist,  and  in  conse- 
quence, additional  legislation  was  enacted  by  the  trustees 
looking  to  their  suppression. 

Chancellor  Mell  did  not  share  the  objections  of  his  prede- 
cessor. On  the  contrary,  he  fostered  the  secret  fraternities 
and  said  they  were  a  valuable  aid  to  him  in  maintaining  the 
discipline  of  the  college.  But  under  that  fostering  care,  col- 
lege politics  waxed  hotter  than  ever  before.  The  fraternities 
dominated  the  college  and,  by  trades  and  combinations,  ab- 
sorbed all  the  offices,  until  at  length  the  non-fraternity  men 
arose  in  their  might  and,  by  a  counter  combination,  over- 
threw their  rulers  and  proceeded  to  divide  the  spoils. 

And  so  continued  the  irrepressible  conflict  until  the  entn  < 
of  another  chancellor. 

One  of  the  first  issues  made  by  Dr.  Boggs  was  with  the 
fraternities ;  and  he  required  them  upon  pain  of  suspension 
to  pledge  themselves  to  take  no  part  by  combinations,  ex- 
pressed or  implied,  in  controlling  the  college  elections.  They 
have  faithfully  abided  by  that  pledge  and  that  evil  has  dis- 
appeared from  the  annals  of  the  University. 

In  1889,  the  board  consisted  of  forty-one  trustees  and 
had  become  such  an  unwieldly  body  and  the  responsibility 
-o  divided  that  an  act  was  passed  by  the  Legislature  reor- 
Lianizingits  membership.  Governor  James  M.Smith,  during 
his  term  of  office,  had  recommended  that  the  board  be  re- 
duced to  nine,  but  his  suggestion  was  not  adopted. 

The  new  law  vacated  all  places  on  the  board  and  pro- 
vided for  the  appointment  by  the  Governor  of  one  trustee 
from  each  congressional  district,  two  from  the  city  of    Ath- 


128  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

ens  and  four  from  the  State  at  large.  The  Governor,  the 
chairman  of  the  commission  on  the  Technological  School 
were  ex  officio  members  of  the  board,  and  subsequently,  the 
chairmen  of  the  commissions  on  the  school  for  girls  at  Mil- 
ledgeville  and  the  college  for  colored  youths  at  Savannah 
were  added,  running  the  number  up  to  nineteen.  The  terms 
of  office  were  fixed  at  eight  years  and  the  appointments 
made  so  that  four  shall  expire  every  two  years. 

The  appointees  of  the  Governor  met  in  Athens  in  Septem- 
ber, 1889,  and  organized  under  the  terms  of  the  act,  elect- 
ing for  their  chairman,  Hon.  J.J.  Gresham,  who  for  seven 
years  had  been  president  of  the  old  board,  and  appoint- 
ing Lamar  Cobb,  Esq.,  secretary  until  the  annual  meeting 
in  June.  At  that  session,  Major  Cobb  being  ineligible  under 
the  rule,  not  being  a  member  of  the  new  board,  Mr.  A.  L. 
Hull  was  elected  to  the  office.  Upon  the  death  of  Mr. 
Gresham,  Hon.  N.  J.  Hammond  was  made  chairman  and 
during  his  incumbency  has  added  to  the  distinguished  ser- 
vices he  had  already  rendered  the  University. 

Prior  to  the  enactment  of  the  existing  law,  the  board  had 
always  filled  its  own  vacancies,  and  without  limit  as  to 
number. 

The  appointment  of  trustee  of  the  University  has  alwaAS 
been  esteemed  an  honor  and  the  list  of  trustees  comprises 
the  most  distinguished  citizens  of  the  State.  As  an  evidence 
of  the  appreciation  of  the  compliment  of  appointment,  in 
1825,  Col.  John  A.  Cuthbert  asked  of  the  Senatus  Academ- 
icus  the  privilege  of  contesting  the  election  of  Governor 
Troup  to  a  place  on  the  board.  It  was  not  the  habit  of  the 
board  to  re-elect  one  who  had  resigned,  save  under  circum- 
stances which  precluded  a  regular  attendance  upon  its  ses- 
sions. 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  129 


XXII. 

Attendance   and    Patronage    oi'   the  College— Offenses  and  Penalties — 
Examinations — Athlel  ics. 

The  attendance  upon  the  University  of  Georgia  has  never 
atxained  the  mark  its  friends  have  set  for  it.  It  has  seemed 
that  there  were  very  many  boys  in  the  State  who  were  able 
and  who  ought  to  be  desirous  of  attending  college,  and  yet 
let  us  consult  the  record  before  passing  judgment. 

In  1802,  President  Meigs  reported  the  attendance,  of  about 
forty  students  which  he  says  *  'compares  favorably  with 
William  and  Mary,  Cambridge  and  Yale,  none  of  which  have 
more  than  two  hundred  students,  although  those  institu- 
tions are  from  100  to  170  years  old." 

The  average  number  of  students  tinder  Dr.  Wadded  was 
sixty  and  his  administration  was  considered  especially  suc- 
cessful, both  in  point  of  numbers  and  work. 

Towards  the  close  of  Dr.  Church's  term  of  office,  the  roll 
of  students  a  little  exceeded  one  hundred.  In  one  of  his  re- 
ports, the  president  estimated  the  total  number  of  young 
Georgians  attending  this  and  other  colleges  at  six  hundred. 
As  the  white  population  of  the  State  was  then  about 
600,000,  that  was  a  ratio  of  1  to  1,000.  In  the  States  of  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania  and  the  New  England 
States,  with  a  white  population  of  9,000,000,  there  were 
5,000  college  students— a  ratio  of  1  to  1,600,  and  that,  too, 
with  all  the  advantages  of  age  and  endowment  in  their  fa- 
vor. 

In  1871,  there  was  reported  an  attendance  for  the  year  of 
262.  Owing  to  extraordinary  circumstances,  this  was  a 
larger  number  than  usual,  and  it  is  fair  to  discount  it  to  ar- 
rive at  an  average  of  say  210. 

Chancellor  Lipscomb  made  the  following  statement  to  the 
board:  "The  number  of  undergraduates  in  all  the  colleges 
of  this    country    in    proportion  to   the  population   is   onl 


130  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

about  one-half  of  what  it  was  thirty  years  ago.  The  stu- 
dents in  attendance  on  all  the  colleges  in  New  England  at 
the  present  time  do  not  exceed  by  one  hundred  those  in  at- 
tendance in  1838.  Thus,  too,  in  the  State  of  New  York,  the 
population  within  twenty-two  years  has  been  increased 
about  fifty  per  cent,  and  yet  the  absolute  numerical  increase 
of  undergraduates  •  has  been  but  94  and  that,  too,  with 
twelve  colleges  in  1870  instead  of  six  in  1848.  But  Georgia 
has  a  larger  ratio  of  students  than  is  usual  to  population." 

Without  the  data  at  hand  to  determine  the  ratio  at  the  pres- 
ent time,  it  is  safe  to  conclude  that  it  has  not  increased.  It 
has  probably  decreased. 

But  though  we  have  nothing  to  be  ashamed  of  as  com- 
pared with  other  States,  yet  the  question  may  be  pertinently 
asked  :  "Why  do  not  more  young  men  go  to  college?"  The 
causes  which  interfere  are  many  and  complex.  Chief  among 
them  is  the  impatience  of  young  men  to  make  money.  So 
soon  as  he  is  through  the  high  school,  the  average  boy — es- 
pecially the  city  boy — wants  to  "go  into  business,"  and  as 
the  majority  of  parents  yield  to  his  wishes  in  the  matter,  es- 
pecially if  the  pittance  he  may  receive  for  his  services  will 
relieve  them  of  his  support,  the  stores  and  offices  are  filled 
with  young  men,  clerks  and  bookkeeperes,  who  would  be  far 
better  off  completing  their  education. 

And  what  shall  be  said  of  those  Georgians  who  send  their 
sons  to  colleges  in  other  and  distant  States?  Years  ago 
when  the  University  of  Georgia  was  poorly  equipped  in 
many  respects  and  the  teaching  force  was  cut  down  by  the 
poverty  of  her  resources,  there  might  have  been  some  excuse 
for  such  a  course.  But  now  when  every  department  offers 
the  undergraduate  advantages  equal  in  effective  work  to 
any  other  college  in  the  country  for  all  but  special  post- 
graduate training,  it  does  seem  a  folly  and  a  lack  of  pa- 
triotism, that  he  should  go  farther  probably  to  fare  worse. 

On  this  subject,  I  cannot  do  better  than  quote  Chancellor 
Lipscomb.  Said  he:  "I  deplore  this  as  the  last  extreme  of 
intellectual  humiliation.  The  intellect  of  a  people  is  essen- 
tially its  own,  and  its  first  earthly  necessity  is  to  keep  it  as 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  131 

its  own.  If  this  greatest  of  providential  trusts  is  delegated 
by  proxy  to  others,  not  a  vestige  of  manhood  will  remain. 
It  is  important  to  educate  our  sons  in  our  ideas,  but  still 
more  in  our  associations  of  life,  and  in  this  view,  I  pray  you 
see  to  it  that  Georgia  is  not  left  an  alien  and  a  stranger  on 
her  own  soil."  Would  that  that  earnest  appeal  of  the  wise 
and  patriotic  chancellor  could  reach  the  heart  of  every 
father  in  the  State.  There  would  be  but  few  Georgia  boys 
to  swell  the  rolls  of  foreign  colleges,  and  there  would  be  a 
greater  pride  in  our  own  University. 

It  is  a  false  but  popular  estimate  of  an  institution  of  learn- 
ing which  makes  the  numerical  attendance  the  measure  of 
its  success.  As  between  different  colleges,  every  condition  of 
location,  requirements  for  admission  and  standard  of  schol- 
arship should  be  considered.  A  comparison  of  one  year 
with  another  should  carry  with  it  all  the  circumstances  sur- 
rounding each.  The  average  attendance  at  the  University 
of  Georgia  since  the  war  has  been  1 97 — all  students  of  col- 
lege grade.  We  hear  much  from  time  to  time  of  how  much 
it  costs  the  State  to  educate  a  student  at  the  University. 
Waiving  the  point  that  the  expenses  are  not  paid  by  the 
State,  such  a  calculation  is  childish  and  absurd.  What 
father  would  calculate  how  much  in  dollars  and  cents  it 
costs  to  raise  his  child  or  estimate  his  value  by  the  amount 
paid  for  his  support.  Georgia  is  the  better  for  such  an 
alumnus  of  her  University  as  Bishop  Pierce,  even  it  had  cost 
one  hundred  thousand  dollars  to  educate  him. 

The  question  with  us  is  how  can  the  University  of  Georgia 
send  out  the  wisest  and  purest  men  and  the  largest  number 
■of  them,  to  solve  the  problems  of  the  day  and  to  promote 
the  true  civilization  of  the  State?  To  furnish  such  men  to  the 
commonwealth  is  the  work  assigned  it  to  perform.  How  that 
work  has  been  done,  the  roll  of  the  ilumni  is  the  best  an- 
swer we  have  to  make. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  the  change  in  sentiment  as  to  the 
.gravity  of  offenses  in  the  college. 


182  HISTORICAL    .SKETCH 

In  the  earlier  years  of  its  history,  students  were  held  to 
strict  observance  of  the  Sabbath,  and  were  permitted  to 
take  a  quiet  walk  not  more  than  a  mile  from  the  campus. 

The  circus  was  regarded  as  a  delusion  and  a  snare,  and 
under  no  circumstances  were  students  permitted  to  attend 
it.  Professors  kept  close  watch  upon  the  tent,  and  in  order 
to  elude  them,  it  was  often  necessary  for  the  boys  to  black 
their  faces  and  sit  with  the  negroes. 

But  tempo ra  mutantur  et  nos  mutamur  cum  illis.  In  1868,  the 
faculty  advanced  the  afternoon  recitation  to  twelve  o'clock 
so  as  to  give  the  boys  an  opportunity  to  go  to  the  circus  v 
and  since  that  time,  there  has  been  no  inhibition  on  that 
amusement,  provided,  it  does  not  conflict  with  any  college 
exercise. 

In  1822,  J.  B.  was  dismissed  "for  playing  at  the  unlawful 
game  of  cards."  Three  years  later,  a  hungry  trio  of  youths 
were  remanded  to  the  grammar  school  for  " bringing  into 
college  and  preparing  for  eating,  fowles."  What  the  grava- 
men  of  this  offense  was,  we  do  not  know.  Possibly  some 
professor  had  missed  a  favorite  hen  and  suspected  the  per- 
X^etrators  of  the  theft,  and  the  tell-tale  feathers  may  have 
betrayed  them. 

A  little  later,  five  students  were  reprimanded  for  being 
found  in  an  unoccupied  house  "eating  cordial,  wine,  fowles 
and  cakes,  with  fiddling  and  dancing."  One  sentimental 
swain  was  dismissed  for  "fiddling  out  at  night,"  and  an- 
other was  fined  one  dollar  "for  fluting.  Would  that  those 
stiingent  rules  were  still  in  force  that  an  unoffending  com- 
munity might  pass  in  peace  and  quietude  the  hours  allotted 
to  sleep,  undisturbed  by  the  twang  of  the  weekly  serenader  1

The  faculty  records  prior  to  1822  have  been  lost,  as  those 
from  1842  to  1850.  The  record  shows  that  from  1822  to 
1892,  a  period  of  seventy  years,  excepting  the  eight  years 
above  referred  to,  and  three  years  during  the  war  when  the 
college  was  closed,  there  were  200  dismissals  for  the  follow- 
ing causes : 

Drunkenness,  34;  disorderly  and  riotous  conduct,  55; 
fighting,  19;  shooting  and  stabbing  8,  disrespect  to  profes- 
sors, 22;  idleness,  37;  gambling,  8;  refusing  to  recite,  8; 
duelling,  4;  disturbing  religious  worship,  3;  indecency,  8; 
carrying  deadly  weapons,  4;  fighting  chickens,  4;  profanity, 
1 ;  lying  and  cheating,  2. 

A  study  of  the  table  will  show  that  drunkenness  has 
steadily  decreased  ;  disorderly  conduct  is  variable,  and  so  is 
neglect  of  study,  while  fighting  has  decreased  and  other 
minor  offences  have  ceased  altogether. 

This  may  be  taken  as  a  fair  criterion  of  the  behavior  of 
the  students,  for  while  it  is  not  pretended  that  instances  of 
violation  of  law  and  morals  do  not  occur,  their  average  con- 
duct shows  a  very  marked  improvement.  In  1832,  a  dis- 
graceful riot  occurred  on  the  campus.     A  party  of  students 


134  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

paraded  the  grounds,  threw  stones  at  the  professors' houses > 
battered  the  door  of  a  tutor's  room,  broke  out  his  windows 
and  threatened  a  personal  attack  upon  him. 

Eleven  of  the  offenders  were  detected  and  expelled.  In 
1839,  several  students  broke  open  the  room  of  Professor 
McCay  in  the  new  college,  during  his  absence,  took  his 
books,  bedding  and  furniture  down  and  made  a  bonfire  of 
them  on  the  campus.     Two  were  detected  and  expelled. 

The  following  year,  six  students  of  the  senior  class,  in- 
eluding  the  honor  men  of  the  class,  got  drunk  and  created 
much  disorder  on  the  campus.  President  Church  and  Mr. 
McCay  went  out  to  quell  the  disturbance,  and  were  both 
attacked  with  stones  and  sticks.  Dr.  Church  was  seriously 
hurt,  Mr.  McCay  receiving  a  few  bruises.  All  six  of  the 
rioters  were  expelled. 

A  year  later,  a  serious  affray  occurred  between  four  stu- 
dents,^ which  one  was  dangerously  stabbed,  it  was  thought 
fatally.  This  was  followed  by  a  shooting  scrape  between 
two  others. 

In  1851,  a  young  man  was  expelled  for  cursing  the  entire 
faculty  to  their  faces.  The  next  year  three  students  made 
an  attack  upon  a  tutor,  badly  wounding  him. 

These  instances  are  given  to  show  the  lawlessness  which 
would  crop  out  from  time*to  time.  But  in  the  last  thirty 
years,  despite  the  demoralization  of  the  war,  no  such 
offences  have  been  committed  as  would  be  denominated 
felonious  in  their  character. 

The  drift  of  the  times,  the  Christian  sentiment  of  the  age, 
and  the  personal  influence  of  the  faculty  with  the  students 
have  brought  about  the  change. 

It  may  be  safely  said  that  no  institution  in  the  country 
can  show  a  better  record  for  sobriety  and  general  good  be- 
havior than  the  University  of  Georgia;  and  as  for  "hazing'* 
and  "rushing"  and  other  specimens  of  rowdyism  which  we 
read  of  in  Northern  and  Western  colleges,  such  things  were 
never  known  among  us. 

The  old  method  of  oral  examinations  allowed  small  op- 
portunity for  "booking."     The  present  method   of  written 


UNIVERSITY   OF   GEORGIA.  135 

examinations  with  the  pledge  that  no  assistance  has  been 
received,  admits  abundant  opportunity   for  cheating  if  the 

student  is  disposed  to  avail  himself  of  it.  Originating  in  a 
feeling  of  self-protection,  a  sentiment  has  arisen  against  this 
dishonesty,  under  which  the  class  deals  with  the  culprit  in- 
stead of  the  faculty.  Several  eases  have  occurred  where 
the  accused  was  formally  arraigned  before  his  class, 
charged  with  the  offense  by  the  prosecutor  and  called  upon 
to  answer  either  in  person  or  by  attorney.  If  found  guilty, 
lie  was  tabooed  or  allowed  grace  upon  promise  of  reforma- 
tion, or  reported  to  the  faculty,  according  to  the  gravity  of 
the  offense.  The  contempt  of  his  fellows  has  ten  times  the 
effect  upon  a  boy  that  the  condemnation  of  a  college  faculty 
has. 

College  athletics  is  a  feature  of  comparatively  recent  ori- 
gin in  American  institutions.  In  our  University,  thirty  years 
ago  it  was  unknown  excepting  in  the  occasional  erection  of 
a  hand-swing  and  a  horizontal  bar,  called  b}^  courtesy  "the 
gymnasium,"  which  after  a  few  weeks  use  was  allowed  to 
go  to  decay.  Once  in  a  while,  a  game  of  foot-ball  was 
played  on  the  unfrequented  streets — not  the  rough  and  turn, 
ble  scuffle  now  called  by  that  name,  but  a  genuine  old-fash- 
ioned game  in  which  one  side  "bucked"  the  ball  and  followed 
it  up  to  kick  it  home. 

These,  together  with  jumping  with  dumb-bells,  comprised 
the  active  sports  of  the  students.  After  the  war,  baseball 
was  introduced,  and  the  old  field  below  thecampus  was  alive 
with  players  and  spectators. 

A  stimulus  to  athletics  was  given  when  the  trustees  made 
the  first  Monday  in  May  "Field  day."  A  club  was  formed 
and  prizes  offered  to  contestants  in  running,  jumping  and 
feats  of  strength  and  activity.  Baseball  nines  and  football 
teams  were  organized  and  match  games  between  classes  and 
other  colleges  kept  up  the  interest  in  the  sports. 

There  have  been  many  who  decried  the  inter-collegiate 
games  and  lamented  the  time  wasted  and  the  distraction  of 
the  occasion.  That  there  are  evils  attending  such  games 
none  will  deny  ;  but  that  those  evils  have  been  greatly  mag- 


136  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

liined  is  doubtless  as  true.  A  close  observation  of  the  effects 
upon  the  students  themselves  warrants  the  belief  that  they 
are  beneficial  to  the  institution.  With  us,  at  least,  as  a  rule, 
the  best  players  have  been  the  most  diligent  students,  includ- 
ing the  honor  men  of  each  year.  The  games  work  off  the 
superfluous  energy  in  the  boys  and  take  up  the  excess  of 
vitality  that  in  former  days  found  its  vent  in  riots  and  dis- 
turbances of  various  kinds. 

During  the  year  when  a  resolution  of  the  board  inhibited 
match  games,  and  athletics  were  discouraged,  there  was 
more  disorder  in  classes,  more  violations  of  the  laws,  more 
outrages  committed  than  in  the  five  previous  years.  If  the 
professional  element  is  kept  out  of  the  teams,  their  successes 
and  defeats  bind  the  boys  closer,  awaken  their  college  pride, 
advertise  the  institution  and  attract  other  students  to  join 
it.  This  has  been  the  practical  result  with  this  University 
so  far,  and  the  hard-fought  battles  on  the  ball-ground ;  the 
college  yell  and  the  college  colors  will  be  a  sweet  memory  of 
a  life-time  with  the  boys. 

To  Dr.  Charles  H.  Herty,  adjunct  professor  of  chemistry, 
perhaps,  more  than  to  anyone  else,  is  due  the  development  of 
athletic  sports  at  the  University  of  Georgia.  An  ardent 
player  himself,  he  organized  the  society,  taught  them  the 
yell  and  at  much  personal  sacrifice  brought  up  the  teams  to 
a  state  of  efficiency  which  made  them  a  credit  to  the  college. 
The  trustees  have  recently  awakened  to  the  importance  of 
physical  culture,  and  a  department  has  been  established  with 
Dr.  Herty  as  director.  Sadly  lacking  in  a  suitable  building 
and  equipment,  but  little  may  be  expected,  until  some  one 
with  the  generosity  with  which  Fayerweather  equipped  Vir- 
ginia's State  institution,  shall  prove  his  interest  in  the  de- 
velopment of  our  own  youths  by  a  like  bequest.

Professor  Charles   Morris — Incidents  and  Reminiscences  of  student- — 
The  Alumni. 

1893. 

In  June,  1893,  the  vacancy  in  the  chair  of  English  caused 
by  the  death  of  Professor  Morris,  was  filled  by  the  election 
of  Dr.  Benj.  F.  Riley,  President  of  Howard  College,  Ala- 
bama. Mr.  John  Morris,  son  of  the  late  professor,  was 
made  his  assistant. 

Professor  Charles  Morris  was  a  gentleman  of  the  old 
school,  a  Virginian  of  Virginians,  courteous  and  brave. 

Prior  to  the  war,  he  was  a  professor  at  William  and  Mary 
and  during  the  war  served  until  the  surrender  as  brigade- 
quartermaster. 

Major  Morris  was  a  scholar  of  broad  culture,  filling  at 
different  times  both  the  chairs  of  Greek  and  belles-lettres 
with  ability,  and  as  a  writer,  in  purity  of  diction  and  ele- 
gance of  expression,  he  had  few  equals.  He  had  traveled 
abroad  and  had  mingled  with  men  and  rubbed  against  the 
world,  and  was  free  from  the  dogmatism  which  is  so  apt  to 
clothe  the  lifelong  teacher.  Major  Morris  professed  to  be 
a  typical  "old  fogy,"  and  clung  to  the  manners  and  tradi- 
tions of  the  ante-bellum  days  with  a  tenacity  which  never 
elaxed.  He  was  a  declared  foe  to  "science"  so-called,  and 
all  its  pretensions.  He  planted  by  the  moon,  and  insisted 
that  wheat  would  turn  to  "cheat"  and  tobacco  degenerate 
into  mullein.  Plain  and  unaffected  in  manner,  but  always  a 
gentleman,  sincere  and  tender-hearted,  he  was  greatly  be- 
loved by  all  the  students  and  esteemed  by  all  who  knew 
him.  Throughout  his  entire  connection  with  the  Univer- 
sity, he  was  not  known  to  have  an  enemy. 

Professor  Morris  was  for  many  years  a  sufferer  from  neu- 
ralgia and  was  very  sensitive  to  cold.     In  April,  1893,  after 


138  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

sitting  throughout  a  contest  for  speaker's  places,  he  went  to 
his  home  feeling  tired  and  sick.  In  a  week,  pneumonia  en- 
sued, and  after  a  brief  illness,  he  passed  away  in  the  morning 
of  May  3d.  In  his  death  the  University  lost  an  able  teacher, 
a  wise  counsellor  and  a  faithful  friend. 

One  of  the  greatest  pleasures  in  meeting  old  friends  is  re- 
counting the  incidents  and  recalling  the  scenes  of  former 
da3rs.  Memory  especially  likes  to  dwell  on  the  incidents  of 
school-boy  days,  and  even  the  hardships  of  those  times,  as 
wecall  them  up,  are  surrounded  with  a  pleasingglow.  A  vol- 
ume might  be  written  of  these  alone,  but  a  few  must  suffice. 

William  E.  Jones  (1826),  after  editing  a  paper  in  Athens, 
emigrated  to  Texas,  from  which  State  he  was  sent  to  Con- 
gress. While  attending  court  once  near  the  Rio  Grande, 
some  of  Santa  Anna's  pickets  crossed  over,  captured  judge, 
jury  and  lawyers,  and  marched  them  off  to  a  Mexican 
prison.  While  they  languished  here  in  durance  vile,  the  pris- 
oners devised  a  plan  of  escape  by  tunnelling  under  a  wall, 
but  were  discovered.  Their  jailor  was  a  fat  old  Mexican  of 
rotund  proportions,  whom  the  prisoners  had  dubbed  " Gut- 
sy." When  they  were  asked  who  gave  them  the  means  to 
work  with,  Jones  promptly  replied,  "Gutsy."  The  utter 
amazement  of  that  individual  at  the  unjust  charge  may  be 
imagined.  The  Mexicans  determined  to  convert  their  pris- 
oners to  the  Catholic  faith,  and  twice  a  day  marched  them 
to  the  church  to  prayers.  The  incorrigible  Jones,  having 
previously  primed  his  companions,  immediately  after  a 
prayer  gave  the  command,  "  Single  wiggle !  "  at  which  every 
man  stood  up,  facing  the  priest,  placed  his  thumb  to  his  nose 
and  wiggled  his  fingers  with  the  utmost  gravity.  After  the 
second  prayer,  the  order,  "Double  compound  action!" 
brought  all  to  their  feet  with  both  hands  extended  from  the 
nose  and  fingers  wiggling  furiously.  In  a  little  while  further 
missionary  work  was  abandoned. 

Charter  Campbell  (1827)  was  a  great  wag,  full  of  fun  and 
mischief.  To  come  within  the  pale  of  the  law  which  required 
the  wearing  of  homespun,  but  permitted  the  use  of  calico, 
he  took  the  curtains  from  his  windows  and  pinning  them  to 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA.  L39 

the  waist  of  his  broad-cloth  coat,  which  he  was  loathe  to 
discard,  appeared  thus  at  prayers  to  the  intense  amusement 
of  the  assembly.  When  called  upon  to  "speak,"  Campbell 
arose  and  recited  the  multiplication  table  with  all  the  dra- 
matic expression  of  a  tragedian.  Dr.  Church  stopped  him 
and  required  him  to  appear  the  next  afternoon  with  a  mem- 
orized speech.  This  time,  with  expressive  gestures,  he  deliv- 
ered the  long  rule  for  the  traverse  table.  Dr.  Church  was 
teaching  mathematics  at  the  time,  and  so  admired  the  thor- 
oughness with  which  the  rule  had  been  memorized,  that  he 
let  the  recitation  pass. 

John  D.  Diometari  (1835)  was  a  native  of  Greece.  How 
he  came  to  Georgia  is  not  known,  but  the  Presbyterian  Edu- 
cational Society,  a  local  organization  of  that  day,  adopted 
him  and  sent  him  to  college  with  the  ultimate  view  of  his 
entering  the  ministry.  If  Diometari  ever  had  that  idea,  he 
soon  abandoned  it,  and  it  was  not  long  before  he  was  ini- 
tiated into  the  mysteries  of  "High,  Low,  Jack  and  the  Game." 
He  was  brought  up  by  the  faculty,  his  stipend  was  with- 
drawn by  the  society  and  there  seemed  nothing  for  John  but 
to  leave  college.  Being  a  general  favorite,  however,  friends 
interfered  with  timely  aid  and  the  trustees  remitted  his  tui- 
tion fees.  Still  he  was  compelled  to  leave  college  before 
graduating.  The  following  resolution,  in  the  ornate  style  of 
the  day,  appears  in  the  minutes  of  the  trustees  :  "A  merito- 
rious young  foreigner,  the  native  of  a  country  whose  history 
forms  so  large  a  portion  of  the  meditations  of  the  classical 
student,  who  has  thrown  himself  upon  our  hospitality  and 
proved  himself  worthy  of  it  by  the  fidelity  with  which  he 
has  discharged  his  duties  as  a  student  in  this  institution, 
ought  not  to  be  deprived  of  any  of  the  advantages  which  it 
can  afford  to  him  because,  yielding  to  the  pressure  of  neces- 
sity, he  has  retired  from  it  before  the  final  examination  of  his 
class.     Therefore,  be  it 

"Resolved,  That  the  degree  of  A.  B.  be  conferred  on  Mr. 
John  D.  Diometari." 

Diometari  was  a  smart  fellow  and  quite  popular  with  all 
classes.     Later  in   life  he  was  appointed  American  consul  at 


140  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

Athens,  in  his  native  country,  where  he   sustained  himself 
with  credit. 

Along  in  the  forties,  Billy  and  Davy,  two  carpenters  be- 
longing to  Dr.  Henry  Hull,  were  at  sundry  times  hired  to  the 
college  to  do  general  repairs.  They  were  brothers,  men  of 
unusual  intelligence  and  keen  native  wit,  and  each  had  by  an 
accident  lost  an  eye.  Billy  was  working  at  his  bench  one 
day,  shoving  his  plane  in  a  leisurely  way,  when  Dr.  Church 
coming  by,  stopped  and  said:  "Billy,  why  don't  you  work 
faster?"  The  old  man  laid  down  his  plane  and  said:  "Mars' 
Church,  I  ain't  in  no  hurry  'bout  dis.  I'm  workin'  on  a  life- 
time job." 

Davy  was  a  favorite  with  the  boys,  who  were  continually 
chaffing  him,  and  he  had  picked  up  a  great  many  phrases 
from  them,  the  meaning  of  which  he  could  only  conjecture. 
One  day  some  students  came  by  and  one  said:  "Professor, 
let  me  hear  you  talk  Latin."  "I  ain't  got  no  time  to  be 
foolin'  wid  you  white  boys,"  said  he.  "Dave,  I  am  told  you 
talk  Latin  like  your  mother  tongue.  Let  us  hear  you." 
Turning  around  and  spitting  in  his  hands  as  his  habit  was, 
Dave  said:  "  Tuesstultus  datnnatus"  and  resumed  his  plane, 
chuckling  with  great  glee. 

Sam  Watkins  was  the  bell  ringer  and  factotum  during  the 
fifties  and  how  many  years  before  history  does  not  relate. 
He  was  not  very  bright  and  the  boys  used  to  take  delight  in 
calling  him  from  all  parts  of  the  campus  at  once.  Sam 
would  obediently  turn  to  the  last  call  and  the  state  of  utter 
confusion  into  which  he  was  led  was  ludicrous  enough  to 
witness. 

Stephen  V.  Benet  (1844)  was  the  son  of  Pedro  Benet,  a 
Minorcan,  who  settled  in  St.  Augustine,  Fla.,  and  kept  a  lit- 
tle shop  where  he  sold  everything  from  buttons  to  beeswax. 
The  children  were  educated  above  the  station  of  the  father, 
and  Stephen  came  to  the  University  to  complete  his  course. 
Securing  an  appointment  to  West  Point,  he  left  Athens  senior 
ha  If -advanced.  He  graduated  with  credit  from  the  Military 
Academy,  serving  afterwards  in  the  regular  army.  When 
Florida  seceeded,  Benet  refused  to  resign  and  denied  his  alle- 


UNIVERSITY    OF   GEORGIA.  1  i  I 

glance  to  his  State.  He  served  but  little  in  the  held  during" 
the  war,  but  rose  to  the  rank  of  brigadier-general  and  was 
chief  ordnance  officer  of  the  U.  S.  Army,  which  position  he 
held  at  his  retirement.     General  Benet  is  still  living. 

Henry  M.  Law  (1^46)  was  one  of  the  most  eloquent 
young  men  who  ever  attended  the  college,  but  sobriety  and 
industry  were  not  his  distinguishing  traits.  On  a  certain 
night  with  some  boon  companions,  Mr.  Law  paid  a  visit  to 
the  "Forks  of  the  Road"  a  disreputable  groggery  near  the 
present  site  of  the  Rock  College,  where  they  met  other  hab- 
itues of  the  den.  After  frolicking  awhile  and  drinking  a 
good  deal,  the  crowd  called  on  Law  for  a  speech.  Respond- 
ing to  their  urgent  demand,  standing  on  a  barrel-head,  he 
announced  as  his  subject  "temperance,"  and  warming  as  he 
spoke,  he  delivered  an  oration  that  for  convincing  argument, 
pathos  and  passionate  appeal,  it  is  said,  has  never  been  sur- 
passed. His  audience,  first  amused,  then  confounded,  bowed 
beneath  his  eloquent  periods  like  ripening  wheat  before  the 
storm.  It  broke  up  the  meeting  and  some  of  that  party 
never  tasted  liquor  again. 

Shelton  and  Simeon  Oliver  (1849)  were  twin  brothers  and 
as  alike  as  two  peas.  There  was  not  a  feature  b}'  which  one 
could  be  distinguished  from  the  other.  Naturally,  much  con- 
fusion and  many  ludicrous  mistakes  arose  from  the  likeness, 
which  they  enjoyed  and  encouraged  as  only  two  mischief - 
loving  boys  could.  If  one  was  absent  from  recitation,  the 
professor  never  knew  which  to  mark.  A  friend,  referring 
to  some  former  occurrence,  would  never  know  until  he  was. 
told  that  he  was  talking  to  the  other  brother.  One  of  them 
was  engaged  to  a  young  lady  while  at  college,  but  she  was 
never  sure  which  it  was — in  fact,  it  didn't  matter  as  the 
other  was  exactly  like  him. 

William  D.  Anderson  (1859)  was  a  hard  student  and  first 
honor  man  in  his  class  and  those  who  knew  him  only  in  his 
later  years  would  not  suppose  that  he  had  been  one  of  the 
most  mischievous  boys  in  college.  But  with  all  his  love 
of  fun,  there  was  a  manliness  about  him  which  made  every- 
body love  "Bill  Anderson."    On  one  occasion,  he  with   other 


142  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

students  was  standing  at  the  hotel  corner  with  a  friend,  who 
was  indulging  in  loud  and  profane  remarks.  Suddenly,  the 
young  man's  father  came  up  behind  them  and  astounded  at 
what  he  heard,  stopped,  saying,  "My  son,  can  that  be  you?" 
"No,  sir,"  said  Anderson,  "that  was  I,"  saving  his  friend  a 
reprimand  and  relieving  the  grief  and  shame  of  the  father- 
Dr.  Lee,  who  only  met  the  classes  occasionally,  never  knew 
but  one  or  two  of  the  students.  The  boys,  well  aware  of 
this,  used  to  answer  for  any  who  were  absent.  Once  Dr. 
Lee,  beginning  with  the  roll,  said :  "Mr.  Anderson,  explain 
if  you  please,  the  action  of  manure  on  a  growing  crop." 
Josh  Head,  thinking  Anderson  was  absent,  replied  for 
him,  but  shot  wide  of  the  mark  and  made  a  dismal  failure. 
Seeing  this,  Anderson  said,  "Dr.  Lee,  that  was  not  Anderson 
wrho  answered.  I  know  that  question  perfectly  well."  But 
Head  was  not  to  be  caught  in  that  trap.  He  declared  that 
he  was  Anderson.  The  class  were  silent  witnesses.  The  pro- 
fessor looked  puzzled.  Anderson  insisted  that  he  should  not 
be  marked  for  a  failure,  and  Head  persisted  in  his  identity. 
The  truth  of  course  came  out  eventually,  but  it  was  very 
funny  while  it  lasted.  Mr,  Anderson  was  a  gallant  soldier 
and  a  distinguished  lawyer,  resigning  a  nattering  political 
future  to  enter  the  ministry  of  the  Methodist  church. 

George  D.  Bancroft  (1868)  entered  college  without  any 
preparation,  without  an}'  fondness  for  books,  and  chiefly,  be- 
cause his  associates  had  entered.  Almost  immediately  he 
became  fired  with  the  ambition  to  lead  his  class  and  so  as- 
siduously did  he  apply  himself  and  so  accurate  w^ashis  work 
in  every  department  that  he  went  right  to  the  front  and 
graduated,  sharing  with  another  the  first  honor.  He  was 
most  susceptible  to  the  attractions  of  the  fair  sex  and  a  few 
hours  in  the  company  of  a  sweet  young  girl  would  leave 
him  over  head  and  ears  in  love — and  then  it  would  be  hard 
to  say  wmether  "Old  Bangs"  was  most  happy  or  most  mis- 
erable. To  one  noted  belle,  he  was  engaged  to  be  married  ; 
preparations  for  the  wedding  were  begun,  invitations  had 
been  engraved  and  presents  purchased,  when  the  astounding- 
news  reached  him  that  the  night  before,  the  bird  had  flown. 


UNIVERSITY    OF    GEORGIA,  I  \:\ 

A  month's  absence  during  which  he  basked  more  or  less  in 
the  sunshine  of  another  bright  presence  restored  him  to  good 
spirits.  George  Bancroft  was  a  skillful  musician  and  with 
Dennis,  Alfriend  and  Victor  Smith  was  a  weekly  recurring 
nightmare  to  many  a  sleepy  household.  Later  he  devel- 
oped a  remarkable  aptness  for  mathematics,  and,  had  not 
his  health  failed,  bid  fair  to  attain  an  enviable  reputation. 
He  was  the  soul  of  truth,  honor  and  inflexible  rectitude. 

Xot  long  after  Dr.  Tucker's  induction  to  office,  the  faculty 
were  startled  one  morning  on  coming  out  from  prayers  to 
find  that  they  had  nearly  all  been  buried  during  the  night. 
Some  college  humorist,  with  the  aid  of  the  college  artist, 
had  neatly  rounded  off  seven  graves  side  by  side  in  front  of 
the  library  building  and  borrowing  suitable  headstones  from 
a  neighboring  marble-yard,  erected  them  tenderly  inscribed 
to  the  memory  of  the  too  early  deceased  professors.  The 
janitor  was  called  up,  and  with  the  assistance  of  a  drayman, 
soon  removed  the  sad  memorials  and  smoothed  the  turf. 

A  sad  occurrence  in  1881  threw  a  gloom  over  the  college. 
Walter  Rountree,  while  out  walking  one  afternoon  with  his 
brother  and  two  other  companions,  became  engaged  in  a 
difficulty  with  two  negroes,  who,  it  seems,  had  borne  him 
some  ill-will.  They  met  in  front  of  the  courthouse,  and 
after  some  words,  pistols  were  drawn  and  in  the  melee  which 
ensued,  Walter  Rountree  was  shot.  He  was  taken  to  his 
'noarding  house,  where  he  died  that  night.  Great  excitement 
ensued  among  the  students  and  other  negroes,  and  a  riot 
was  with  difficulty  averted.  A  post-mortem  wTas  held,  but 
the  ball  was  not  found.  The  pistols  used  were  found  to  be 
of  different  calibres  and  the  identity  of  the  fatal  shot  was  a 
necessary  evidence  in  the  prosecution  of  the  negroes.  Under 
an  order  of  court,  two  surgeons  went  to  the  young  man's 
home,  exhumed  the  body  and  continued  the  search  for  the 
ball  until  it  was  found.  It  proved  to  have  been  shot  from 
the  brother's  pistol.  The  negroes  were  tried  for  assault  with 
intent  to  murder,  found  guilty  and  sentenced  to  ten  years  in 
the  penitentiary. 


144  HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

A  study  of  the  lists  of  students  who  did  not  complete  their 
course  in  college  compared  with  those  who  took  their  de- 
grees, is  suggestive.  Of  course,  many  were  not  permitted  by 
force  of  circumstances  to  continue  at  the  University  ;  and 
some — not  a  few  of  them  brilliant  youths  of  fairest  promise — 
the  icy  hand  of  death  snatched  from  the  Alma  Mater's  arms 
ere  they  had  laid  hold  on  the  laurels  that  were  almost  within 
their  reach.  But  the  majority,  unused  to  study  and  unfit 
for  work,  idle  and  indolent,  gave  up  the  race,  fell  behind 
and  out,  and  their  comrades  knew  them  no  more.  Some  it 
is  true  became  conservative  citizens,  plodding  along,  building 
homes  and  helpful  in  their  spheres.  A  few  names  are  found 
there  which  tell  of  power  of  intellect,  widespread  influence 
or  devoted  lives.  But  with  these  few  exceptions,  the  mak- 
ers of  the  commonwealth,  the  executors  of  her  laws,  the 
names  which  adorn  her  history  are  found  among  the 
alumni. 

The  reason  is  not  hard  to  find.  The  youth  who  has  a  fixed 
purpose  to  go  through  the  course,  who  turns  not  aside,  who 
overcomes  the  obstacles  he  needs  must  meet,  exercising  his 
mental  powers  and  training  his  intellect  until  his  work  is 
finished,  goes  out  like  the  wrestler,  with  muscles  hardened 
for  the  contest.  But  the  laggard,  unlearned,  untrained  to 
think  or  act  except  upon  impulse,  is  swayed  by  his  shrewder 
fellows  or  lives  the  creature  of  fortuitous  circumstance. 

A  candid  reviewer  of  the  history  and  work  of  the  Univer- 
sity, however  unfriendly  he  may  be,  must  acknowledge  the 
service  she  has  done  the  State.  Of  a  total  attendance  of 
more  than  forty-five  hundred  students,  two  thousand  and 
fifty-six  have  taken  degrees.  Ten  per  cent,  of  these  were 
ministers  of  the  gospel,  conspicuous  among  whom  appeared 
George  F.  Pierce,  Bishop  of  the  Methodist  church,  Na- 
thaniel M.  Crawford,  John  N.  Waddell,  Gustavus  A.  Nun- 
nally  and  John  D.  Hammond,  all  presidents  of  colleges; 
Benjamin  M.  Palmer,  Edward  P.  Palmer,  Thomas  A.  Hoyt, 
Walter  R.  Branham,  Robert  Q.  Mallard,  William  D.  Ander- 
son and  Thomas  F.  Scott,  Bishop  of  Oregon,  while  others 
living  in  the  retirement  of  less  prominent  charges  have  shed 


UNIVERSITY   OF   GEORGIA.  1  U> 

the  sweet  influences  of  their  lives  and    prayers  over   many 
communities  far  and  near. 

Among  distinguished  physicians  are  found  Charles  D. 
Meigs,  Paul  F.  Eve,  Richard  I).  Moore,  Charles  W.  West, 
DeSaussure  Ford  and  Crawford  W.  Long,  the  tardily  ac- 
knowledged discoverer  of  anaesthesia. 

As  jurists,  Joseph  H.  Lumpkin,  Eli  genius  A.  Nisbet,  John 
A.  Campbell,  Charles  Dougherty,  William  C.  Dawson,  Alex- 
ander M.  Speer,  Robert  P.  Trippe,  James  Jackson,  Linton 
Stephens  and  Samuel  Hall  shine  pre-eminent. 

As  great  advocates,  Benjamin  H.Hill,  Thomas  R.R.  Cobb, 
William  Hope  Hull,  Nathaniel  J .  Hammond  and  Henry 
Jackson  are  unsurpassed,  while  Junius  Hillyer,  Joel  A.  Bil- 
lups,  Joseph  B.  Cumming,  Walter  S.  Chisholm,  Pope  Bar- 
row and  A.  0.  Bacon  lead  the  attorneys  at  the  bar. 

Charles  J.  Jenkins,  Howell  Cobb,  Herschel  V.  Johnson 
James  Johnson,  John  Gill  Shorter  and  John  B.  Gordon  all 
filled  the  gLibernatorial  chair  and  shared  the  honors  of 
statesmen  with  Robert  Toombs,  Alexander  H.Stephens  and 
James  H.  Blount. 

There  are  legislators  like  John  Billups,  Asbury  Hull,  Ben- 
jamin C.  Yancey,  William  H.  Felton,  J.  L.  M.  Curry,  Wil- 
liam H.  Sims;  financiers  like  Ferdinand  Phinizy,  John  T. 
Grant  and  John  J.  Gresham  ;  soldiers  like  Gordon,  Bartow, 
Delony  and  Garlington  ;  civil  engineers  like  George  G.  Hull, 
Samuel  Spencer  and  James  M.  Edwards;  scientists  like  John, 
Joseph  and  Louis  LeConte  and  William  L.Jones;  teachers 
such  as  Gustavus  J.  Orr,  James  P.  Waddell,  Shelton  P.  San- 
ford,  Williams  Rutherford,  William  D.  Williams,  John  R. 
Blake,  Morgan  P.  Calloway  and  William  Henry  Waddejl. 

These  and  younger  men,  some  now  nearing  the  meridian 
of  life,  who  have  graduated  since  the  war,  Samuel  Lump- 
kin, Emory  Speer,  William  R.  Hammond,  Henry  W.  Grady, 
Nat.  E.Harris  and  Barrow, Hurt, Meldrim,Wm.  H.Fleming, 
and  WTm.  Y.  Atkinson,  soon  to  fill  the  governor's  chair,  all 
swell  the  roll  of  the  makers  of  the  commonwealth  and 
illumine  the  pages  of  her  history. 


146  HISTORICAL   SKETCH 

What  institution  can  boast  of  a  longer  or  brighter  list  of 
names  in  proportion  to  the  number  on  its  rolls? 

A  historical  sketch  of  the  University  would  not  be  complete 
without  at  least  an  allusion  to  the  present  faculty'.  While 
it  is  not  the  purpose  of  the  writer  either  to  ignore  or  eulo- 
gize any  one  of  the  gentlemen  who  compose  that  able  body, 
it  is  perhaps  enough  to  say  here,  that  for  earnest  devotion 
to  their  work,  for  conscientious  discharge  of  their  duties  as 
professors,  for  thorough  equipment  and  for  a  deep  and  gen- 
uine interest  in  the  advancement  of  the  college,  the  present 
faculty  do  not  yield  to  any  in  other  times  or  in  other 
States.  The  disciplineis  firm — some  of  the  boys  say,  severe — 
the  curriculum  is  as  full  as  the  conditions  will  permit,  the 
moral  atmosphere  is  pure,  religious  influences  surround  and 
the  best  social  advantages  are  open  to  the  students. 

Criticism  and  the  condemnation  of  a  professor  by  a  stu- 
dent should  not  be  accepted  as  an  ipse  dixit.  Professors 
have  no  claim  to  perfection  and  students  are  not  infallible; 
and  it  is  impossible  but  that  some  of  two  hundred  young  men 
who  are  in  almost  daily  contact  with  the  teacher  should  dis- 
cover his  failings  and  reveal  their  own  dislike.  On  the  whole 
with  us  the  entente  cordiale  between  prof essors  and  students 
is  as  good  as  in  other  institutions ;  perhaps  no  better  than 
the  average,  certainly  no  worse.  The  professors  are  doing 
good  work  and  are  insisting  on  thorough  preparation  in  the 
class-room  ;  the  students  know  it  and  are  responding  man- 
'  fully. 

There  has  been  no  more  potent  factor  in  the  development 
of  Georgia  than  her  University.  But  tardy  justice  has  been 
done  it,  even  by  its  friends,  and  efforts  to  decry  its  influence 
are  constantly  being  made  by  its  enemies.  But  despite  it  all 
the  University  of  Georgia  continues  to  grow  in  favor  and  in 
usefulness.  It  fixes  the  standard  of  scholarship  for  the 
schools  and  colleges  of  the  State  and  is  the  fountain  head  of 
learning  and  education  in  Georgia.  It  is  a  popular  fallacy 
that  the  common  school  is  the  foundation  stone  of  our 
system  of  education.  It  is  a  mistake.  The  current  runs  the 
other  way.     The  University  sets  the  pace,  the  schools  must 


IMVKKsi TV    OF    GEORGIA.  1  17 

strive  to  keep  up  with  it.  Much  injustice  has  been  done, 
some  through  malignant  opposition,  but  much  through 
ignorance,  which  the  friends  of  the  University  have  borne  in 

silence.  It  is  amazing  to  learn  how  much  is  believed  against 
it  and  how  little  is  known  about  it. 

Though  these  pages  may  not  enlighten  the  ignorant,  they 
will  at  least  give  some  pleasure  to  those  who  have  not  for- 
gotten their  boyhood's  days,  and  arouse,  though  dormant, 
their  abiding  love  for  their  Alma  Mater. 

In  either  case,  the  author  will  be  content.
